How should I approach this move?

[johnappleseed]

I have been wanting saltwater but I have no knowledge of saltwater besides what I can find online. I’ve never taken care of saltwater. I saw someone selling their established tank on fb market place for $400, Is this a good deal and how difficult would it be for me to move this aquarium to my house? The description from the seller is:

“Open reef rimless tank, currently running salt water comes with everything ready to go. 62 gallon plus bottom tank and cabinet Fish and rocks are included. Must bring buckets to break down and to put fish in. Will be heavy. Has Reef Octopus skimmer, Dual sensor auto top off w/5 gallon Auga gases hydro fill reservoir, hydro reef light, finned heater controller, Dc pump controller dep 4000. I also have more live rocks. Bucket of salt And more.”

If I decide to move it, how should I approach the situation?

How many miles between your house and this tank. It will take a few hours or four to break down and load up and reassembling everything will take about the same amount of time or longer. If you have any experienced people to help you out then it’s going to go ok but setting up a moved system isn’t always easy the first time you try.

The deal is ok, but without knowing what fish, coral and pests are in the system it’s not possible to say if it’s a great deal or a bad one.
