It is with great sadness

[Bdawgfl]

Due to unforseen changes in my work life (I now have to be away from home 29 out of 30 days a month) it is my great regret to have to sell my beloved 180. I do not want to wish the maintenance on my lovely wife while I am gone in addition to raising my two kids in my absence.

Just out of curiosity, only because you said you wouldn't part out, how do you do a tank move of this size without killing everything during the new cycle?

Also, do you have any whole tank shots?

I have someone that asked about it from my craigslist ad that will be picking it up this weekend. If it falls through, I will contact people in the order messaged.
To the person that is unavailable the next two weekends, I am sorry but that is a must as I will be out of town after the next two weekends and will not be home for some time.

FWIW, I moved a fully stocked 180 up to Orlando from West Palm with very minimal loss. Since I kept my live rock, it didn't really re-cycle. My coral was not happy for a while, but everything recovered.

It is a monumental PITA, but it is entirely possible. First, you have to replace the entire sand bed...never reuse old sand. I put all livestock in buckets with battery -powered air stones and kept the live rock wet as well. I had 6 people helping me and it still took a good 14 hours. But it was totally worth it!
