I believe the lot will be donated to the club for raffle or sale to benefit the club.

yep- that is the plan with the equipment on a whole, but livestock/fish is more difficult. A few of us should get there this evening to see what exactly is alive and needs to be housed, what is the equipment,etc. I am awaiting further info and will keep you all posted.

Ok Jeremy, and Kevin were first onsite this evening. Jamie and I arrived shortly afterwards. We got all fish, clean up crew out and tank mostly drained. It is a very cool AquaVim 140 1/2 cylinder tank with black stand, the lights are a T5 fixture, sump underneath. The tank is 4 years old and while it needs a good cleaning, looks in great shape. Equipment will be raffled or sold to highest bidder with money going to club general fund as a donation. The rock will require major cleaning as glass anemones and Mojo's were numerous. Large fish were donated to reef gallery to be rehoused. Kevin did all the hard work of bending over the tank catching everything- well done Kevin!! We will need help to move tank after the insurance adjuster is finished.

Ok, tank and sump are apparently outside with stand inside due to smell, i believe sand has been removed. We need volunteers to move tank to my garage so we can finish cleaning it up and sell with proceeds going to the club. Since tank and sump is outside and stand inside it should be straight forward to move. No draining, no plumbing, Etc. Let me know if anyone us available tonight or tomorrow afternoon. My truck can probably can't take the whole Setup.
