If the total volume is over 180g does it still count lol if not mods please move the thread to the appropriate spot
Here is the link to our first build page...
While we have been looking to get a new sump for our 75g, we have also been putting feelers out for new or used tanks for a good price.
Well today was quite the SUPRISE UPGRADE we were not expecting!
We got a message from one of our local reef stores that a customer wanted to get rid of a tank and as quickly as possible....like by MONDAY quick!!
After contacting the owner and meeting up today to look at the tank, I can happily say we are picking up a new to us WB 220 bundle.
The tank is only about 6 months old and it includes everything in the pictures. Whole apex system, dose, trident, lights, mp40qd, 4k gyre, skimmer, roller, reactor, fuge light, plus 2-50g water tubs for the mixing station. No scratches or nicks that I could see. He said the warranty followed the tank (not sure if thats valid) and gave us the receipt as well.
I spent the last 5 hours reinforcing the floor to handle the 1800+lbs.
We would love suggestions on transferring the tanks from house to house or anything really!
As of now we are going to rent a uhaul 10' van and the kids from the LFS where it was purchased are going to help load and unload it as they have been servicing it and know the tank, This will be a huge help
So any tips for strapping it down safely or keeping the silicone wet or anything else lol
We will also be going bare bottom so just transferring what we have from our 75g and 32g into the 220, so we shouldn't have too bad of an acclimation.
We will only be keeping the rockwork from the new tank as the livestock will be going to the LFS for some compensation for their help with the move.
There is so much I'm missing and would love to know hahaha
Thanks in advance and we will post an update with it in the house monday!!
