Hello -

[Goofyguy]

Hello - Been lurking here for awhile.
Haven't had a tank for 25 years.
So much info on here.
Question -
New tank set up to take time to ease back in..
Or what I feel is a great deal with tank deal that's an hour out from where I live.
Established tank (IM Lagoon25G), nice fish, softies, SPS, LPS, nice aquascaping, tank looks great.
Upgraded lighting AI Hydra 32. 600 for all - 2 years old.

I can just see transfer day being brutal vs easing back in..
Thoughts...Recommendations?

Thanks,
James

Welcome to R2R!

I would start new. Learn your system, setup, etc. Worst case I see is trying to transfer something that's established, and then seeing it fail. The move is very stressful, never know what will happen.

So me, I’m concerned about assuming someone else’s system, you don’t know the history and if there are any hidden issues.

Do it right, your way, step by step.

Sometimes a great deal turns not so great later.

Hello and welcome!
I would start with a new setup. You never know what problems you might inherit. It will also be so much easier to start from scratch at your own speed.

I am in agreement...Last thing I want to do is rush the process and fail..Thanks
