Hey everyone, I have recently decided to move across country and I had a bunch of tanks that I had to get rid of. I currently have a 13 gallon clown tank which I will sadly have to probably get rid of.... so my question is, what brand tanks should I be looking at? I have a 30 or so gallon sump that I am keeping, and I plan to connect that to preferably a 50+ gallon tank. Are there any suggestions out there tank wise that I could buy for less than like $1k, just seems like everything is over that price. I saw waterbox had some "deals" but I think paying just over 800 for a 65 gallon tank is a little absurd. So I just want to hear some other ideas or thoughts. Thanks!
 
Why do you have to get rid of the 13 gallon?

I’ll be traveling a full 24 hours away… it’ll be too stressful for me and my fish to make that trip. At least that’s what I think, my LFS said he could hold them for a week and ship them to me but I just don’t think my rock and corals will make it

I drove two days with fish, corals, rock, etc. with zero casualties. I put everything in coolers, and used battery powered bubblers. Make sure the rock is separate to avoid any critters getting crushed if you decide to try to make the trip! Definitely not stress free, but something to consider if you'd prefer to keep your current setup and livestock. 🙂
