Hi.
I just bought a house with an approximately 550 gallon Clarity Plus aquarium (approx 72"W x 48"H x 36"D) 1" thick acrylic in the basement.
Unfortunately, I do not have the time or money to maintain it properly.
I managed to get in touch with the builder of the house (who had the tank originally installed several years ago). He cautioned me against trying to get the tank out of the basement in one piece. He said he brought it down with 11 guys and before the walls were finished.
Questions...
Does an aquarium have any value if it is dismantled (so that it can be removed)? Any suggestions on who might be interested in such a project?
(or) If I leave it empty for some period of time... until I have more time and money (-: ... or at least until my boys are older and can take up as a hobby... will this compromise the integrity of the tank in any way?
Any expertise really appreciated!
