Hey everyone.
It looks like I will be blessed with there opportunity to adopt a 16 year old ~92 gallon corner reef setup. Originally, I was working building out a 90 gallon standard tank when this option was offered to me, and it is 10 minutes from my house.
The tank is soft coral dominated with a couple torch corals (I think that is what they were).
Stocking is:
1 Sailfin Tang
2 PJ Cardinals
1 Coral Beauty
1 fire goby
1 Wrasse (Owner does not remember type)
1 Royal Gramma.
A couple of questions:
1. Would you be concerned over the tanks age and the seals? It is not leaking, but my mind is remembering something about tank seals needing to be replaced about every 10 years?
2. Since it is so close to home, would you keep the existing sand bed? I don't believe it is a deep sand bed.
3. I have the 90 I was planning on setting up, would you use that as a transition tank?
Any suggestions/recommendations for a successful transition to its new home? We'll probably do the move the 1st or 2nd week in April.
Thanks,
Chris
Here are some tank pics including mystery wrasse. (Sorry for poor image, iPhone mostly pulled the blue light)
