Does anyone happen to live in the Tulsa, OK area? I had a bottom seam break on my 75 and I think I'm ready to just get rid of everything. I had a spare tank in the garage that I moved all the rock and livestock into. It's now just sitting on the floor with a heater and some circulation pumps. I considered buying a new tank and trying to quickly rebuild, but I just don't know that I'm up to it. However, I don't want all of my fish and corals to die. This is a quick list if you happen to live in the area and can rehome some guys (donations would be appreciated so that it's not a total loss.).

3 frogspawn
2 torch
1 hammer
1 cristata
1 blasto
1 bubble
1 toadstool
several other smaller things

tomato clown
foxface
melanurus wrasse
orange back F wrasse
lubuck F wrasse

Here's the direct link for the Oklahoma selling forum. May be easier to connect with people by posting here.

If you need a very nice 83g setup…this is around 1500 shipped to your door which is still about half off

There was a coupon for an additional 10% off but it’s expired. Deal is still very good and the build quality and stand are excellent

I would setup the other tank and keep going or atleast it gives you time to decide instead of regretting it later

Why not just work with your plan B tank?
I had customized an internal filtration system for the tank that failed so I would have to rethink all of that, and spend more money. The wooden stand got soaked so now I'm afraid it will warp. If I were to rebuild I would rather just buy a new tank, possibly reinforce the bottom with eurobracing, and then be able to move everything back just the way I want it. It's all just hap hazard in the plan B tank at the moment. But, I may just be done with all of it.
