I have a tank with healthy fish (mated clowns, 3 fire fish, 1 sailfin tang, 3 blue damsels, 1 peppermint shrimp)
I recently discovered a lot of rust on the bolts of what turned out to be a very poor stand. I don’t feel comfortable keeping the tank running on what could be a compromised foundation. I want to start over and put together a new system. I’m not looking for money. Just a safe new home for my fish. I live in the CA Central Valley. 209 area code please contact me if interested.

It’s healthy. No disease or or parasite problems for almost 2 years

Don't panic just yet. Rust happens eventually to bolts around salt water tanks they are still sound even when rusted unless they are tremendously corroded...

Thank you everyone for your inquiries and concerns. I’ve already found a suitable home for the fish. So consider this thread closed.

Where’d you get your paintings from?

They were gifts. Once I realized the uv lights could react with black light paintings I knew I wanted to decorate the room with them. But if you look up UV or black light posters online I’m sure you’ll find them
