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

I also recommend starting your own tank! there's so much to learn in the process that will help you in the long run.
You can always get used stuff like the tank and gear, just to cut on the cost.

Thank you..
I was only considering buying the used set up as I thought it was a really good deal. I did NOT want to try and rush everything as it would be about an hour from my place. I do NOT have experience with any corals and the tank has approx 20. I also think it may have too many fish for the size tank yet the video looks like everything is good. Sure Id like to save some $$$$ yet would rather learn as I go from start to finish.
If something were to go wrong once I transferred Id have no idea what to do at this point.

Welcome to reef2reef!
Ya, it might be a better to start off fresh. Start from the nitrogen cycle and work you way up. There’s a lot to learn but we’re here for you!

Welcome fellow lurker! I'd definitely start off new. There's always that risk of uncertainty when moving an established tank. I would hate for you to get it, and then something happen and you slowly watch everything just die and you can't figure out why. Unless your a risk taker, and want to take on that challenge, then by all means go for it. That's a great price. If you're wanting to get a nice AIO system going, I'd check out IM and even look at their blemished tank section. I just started my SW journey with a blemished 40L AIO from IM (can't find the blemish) and it has been a less stressful, somewhat enjoy adventure so far. :)
