I had this tank made for me about 10 years ago as an office tank, it sat on my desk. I brought it home about 6 years ago where it ran until about 4 months ago. Free, but you need to clean up. the return pump is original, so I'd say test it. The tank holds water as of today. 14" Deep (top to...

So, started my new tank about 4 months ago, I've come to the conclusion i need more sand at the back of the tank. I have an extra 20lb bag of live sand. If I rinse the sand with water from the tank does anyone think this might cause an issue? The tank is 225g + 60g sump, so 20lbs of sand...

Could use a serious cleaning and maybe replace the material on the inside. clean it well before using, not responsible if you scratch class because you didn't clean it well. The blade is kinda new. Went with a different one for my new tank. Heaters on a different post

I have six 300 watt heaters that will not be going into my new tank. They are between 3-5 years old, and when I pulled them out of my old tank they were working. Let me know if anyone is interested in one or more. Pickup in Lake Forest. They could all use a good wash.

Hi, I used a 150-gallon black tub to host my fish during the remodel (zero losses during the 12 weeks). This tub is at a friend's house, and we will be breaking it down on Saturday, 7/30. I don't have a space to store it so, free to anyone who wants to come to pick it up. sometime between 4-6...

Moved all my fish to a new tank and I'm looking to add a few more. I don't want to keep/hold a QT tank for infrequent purchases. I was wondering what types of options anyone uses beyond fish tanks. I was wondering if I could use a 125 qt ice chest as a temp QT tank, or an inflatable kiddie...

The new Apex salinity probe says salt is high, my old swing arm says it is low... who to believe. Been using the swing arm for years. Ordered a refractometer.. Ug.

Purchased a tank as a result of our remodel, had to dispose of the old tank and find a replacement for the new spot for the tank. I was instructed to downsize, so I did. Went from a 240 (8x2x2) to a ~225 (5x3x2), peninsula style. Fish and such have been in a black bin at a friend's house for...

I shut down my old tank and started a new one with different-sized plumbing, have a pile of components Ts, elbows, +, and so on. Sized from 3/4, 1", 11/4" free to anyone that wants to come to Lake Forest and take it away this weekend. Bring your own box, bag, or bucket, I need to keep the...

We did a major remodel of the house and with the demo we sold my old tank and I'm receiving a new tank (5'Lx3'Wx2'H) on Saturday and I'm starting to get into the details of the build. The tank is peninsula-style, but it will be against the wall after discussions. The tank will be primarily...

I've never heard of this stuff before, but I was watching video and they said use this material and you can take your pipes apart, but still leak-proof. Anyone heard of this stuff or used it with success or failure? I'm getting a new tank, just had someone take the old tank and I realize how...

Tank breakdown for remodeling We are doing a remodel in our house and I’m looking for someone to make me an offer for the tank and come take it away next Sunday 4/24 or during the week prior to 4/29. Tank, stand, fuge, sump, return pump, plumbing. Tank – good shape, a few scratches, nothing...

I'm going to be receiving a new tank in mid June and I'm debating a couple of ideas on how to rig the plumbing. The tank is 60x36x24, peninsula style. I have a custom sump (36x30x18) I had made by Jayson at Ellis A. Thanks Jayson. So the tank has 3 drains from an external overflow. I want...

We are remodeling our house and my current tank won't fit so I get a new tank. Along with the new tank, I'm going to be getting a new sump, looking to mine the collective brains of this group for suggestions, lessons learned, warnings regarding sumps. I've settled on a tank with dimensions of...

We are about to embark on a major remodel of our house, including new flooring. We are going to be staying somewhere else for 6-7 weeks and wanted to move our fish to our temp location and keep them there until the remodel is done and a new tank is delivered. I was thinking of purchasing a...

I believe the tank is 35 gallons (could be 30). Free for pickup in Orange. It has been sitting in the garage for about a year, have not leak tested it, but believe it holds fine. First come first serve *Cat for scale, not included

I have two tanks, a large one (240) and a smaller one behind my desk (32). I'm thinking about consolidating the two tanks as the small one is down to a yellow watchman and pistol shrimp pair and a bunch of corals. My question is do I have any concerns about the pistol shrimp in the main tank...

Hi, I have a 240g tank (w /180g sump) and filled with live rocks and about 15 fish. We need to fog the house, I'd like to also include the rooms next to the room where the tanks are. Is there anything I can do to protect the tank. Shutting it down and moving it is really not possible due to...
