Just finished cleaning out the display today, man scooping up 60 lbs of sand is harder when it's wet. Sale for tank/stand are pending to @tygun. Does anyone know of a reliable tank moving service? This tank is 150-200lbs dry and should really be moved by two people with proper heavy duty...

Sounds good. Are you going to pick it up at the frag swap tomorrow or do you want to pick it up at our house in Mountain View?

I've got two refugium packs for free, what's left of my refugium after my tank breakdown today: - Big hunks of chaetomorpha macroalgae - Misc other macroalgae - live rock rubble - copods, amphipods - small white brittle stars - etc Our refugium was teeming with life and fed a pair of mandarins...

It looks like my tank breakdown will be complete, so I'll be able to make it tomorrow to hang out for a bit. I'm bringing two free refugium packs - 1 gallon ziplock bags full of chaeto, live rock rubble, pods, and all the goodness you need to start or revive your refugium.

Well, it's a sad day today - the tank is in the process of being broken down. I just helped pack up @euod with everything in the display - fish, corals, and live rocks. If there's anything in the tank you didn't get and you're interested, you should talk to him. I'm breaking everything else...

*EDIT*: Swapped in original Youtube video, thanks to @roostertech

I sized my mesh top to sit flush against the Kessil mount base, which is about 1" of a gap against the back sill, but the lip is about 1/2" or so, so the gap of exposed space is only 1/2" or so. I also attached a DIY feeding ring to the mesh itself, which I cut out of a dosing bottle which sits...

Sadly, I'm breaking down my tank this weekend and we're packing up for the move. I'm hoping to drop by the event to catch up with folks and say goodbye before we move in April.

Oh man, that looks exciting. Reminds me of the BFG from the Doom video games of my youth.

I've built 3-4 of these over the years and it's easy to do. I think it's worth investing in a $5 spline roller. You can usually cut your screen frame to length with a cheap hacksaw. I usually lay out the paired sides together when I cut them to ensure equal length. Then I usually lay the BRS...

I will admit I've never cleaned my probes in the two years this system has been up and running. The Salinity probe is very difficult to calibrate and get useful numbers from, IMHO - with or without maintenance.

Everything is now spoken for, @euod made a deal for all of the coral and fish.

I haven't moved anything yet, but folks are coming over first thing tomorrow morning. There's been a lot of interest, but trying to give preference to supporting BAR members (like 30 PMs from Reef Central). I expect most/all coral will go early tomorrow. Once most of the coral/rockwork are...

Beautiful tank build so far, I'm looking forward to see it get filled up and grow.

Thanks to everyone who's expressed interest. I'm working to get the coral/rockwork mostly cleared out this weekend to make it easier to catch these fish so we can find them new homes. I'm being super picky about a home for the mandarins because they are higher maintenance and having two...

Great, can you PM me some info about your tank? (size, how long it's been up, other fish/coral you've got) We can setup a time this weekend.

Thanks, our tank and the great people in BAR have been the highlight of my time in the bay area. I hope to stay active on the forums here even after we move. Hopefully we'll find a house back home and I can setup a tank we keep running for a decade or more.

PMs sent to everyone who posted. Because I'm trying to break this down ASAP the prices are cheap but it's first come/first serve. I'm hoping to schedule some times Sat/Sun for folks to come check out coral and pick them up. We're in downtown Mountain View near Castro, PM to arrange a time if...

Sadly, we're breaking down our 90gal tank for a move in April and I need to find homes for our fish. These are all free to folks with an established tank and an appropriate environment for the fish. Flame Angel Fish Bengai Cardinal Yellow Tang Pair of Tank-raised Ocellaris Clowns Mated pair...
