Red Sea sprung a leak - taking it down and need to rehome fish ASAP

[johara]

Located in Alameda. I have the following livestock that need a home ASAP - free to anyone who can pick them up in Alameda today:


one large heniochus angel - has not nipped dcoral or bothered other fish - about 5" long full bodied and healthy


Pair of clownfish with rose anemone, spawn regularly


Multiple small Rose anemones


2 large pajama cardinals


One brown bodied, yellow tailed fox face - ate all bubble algae several years ago


Bonded pair of genicanthus Lamarck angels


Multiple brown leather corals

I can send photos on request, all fish eagerly eat Ron's Cichlid pellet food which I can provide. I am heartbroken to lose this setup that has been up for 10 years - most fish are between 5 and 10 years old, get along and super healthy.

I'll be gathering and listing equipment as well, but my first priority is getting the livestock rehomed.

Just curious, which red sea model was this?

@SupraSaltyReefer created an incident tracker for this, to collect statistics about which models/gens reported most failures.

Not raising my confidence in the red Sea I have sitting empty

I am on-call or I would pick up everything I could foster with the spare stuff I have.

I hope all the fishies find happy homes.

@Michael Hans maybe could find a home in his school tank

Sorry about this. Another red sea
Failure. It’s a crappy club to be in but I was in that club 5 years ago.

a 10 year old S650, I filled out the report. First failure was at about 8 years and reparable, this one was a catastrophic spontaneous crack/leak of bottom for unknown reason

Sorry to hear that - no fun at all. It was the final straw to get me to leave the hobby.

Thanks for the offer! I have them safely in quarantine tank for now, but since I won't be setting up again am looking for permanent homes for them. No charge.

hello sorry here about your tank. but i can rehome your fish

Hi Im in Oakland and i am interested in 2 large pajama cardinals. Can pick up today if still available

 

[Krak256]

I think the club has a stock tank. You don't want to house your livestock while you set up a new tank?

Edit: nvm, I see you're no longer interested in continuing the hobby

 

[tribbitt]

Heartbreaking. Sorry to hear about this
Glad so many people are willing to offer homes for livestock and hope you decide to join the hobby again one day

 

[clownvan]
