I'm looking for a container that hold 200 gallons. I need to rent one for the weekend as I am helping my friend setup and 380. I can rent it or buy one. PM if you have anything. If anyone knows best place to get one let me know. Thanks again.

Hi JonnyU, Just joined FMAs and trying to get more involved. I have a brand new (used once) 44 Gallon Brute you can borrow. I am sure each of us has one or two. My experience is that with rock and water loss from sand removal (i would not reuse the sand) you end up with 2/3 the water. So you are looking at around 300 gallons or less.Then you have to mix or buy SW to top-off. I would have at least 15%-20% new water on-hand to top off depending on how much rock you put back in the tank.... Kind of like a first water-change. Bubble your fish and watch for temperature and salinity changes in the water before moving them from one body of water to another. Dude a 380 gallon tank will weigh a ton (literally). water alone 300 x 8 = 2,400 lbs YOu will need some beer and pizza money on-hand and lots of strong backs. I also have a small submersible pump that connects to a gardenhose that always comes in handy. It would empty that tank real fast. Yours to borrow if you need it. Just a thought. I am in Parkland /Coral Springs area if i can help. Cheers Matthew

Thanks for the info. The tank is brand new. I'm it's getting dry rock sand and water this weekend. No fish or coral. After moving my 135 a few months back I would never attempt moving a running 380. Lol I'm looking for the container so I don't have to take 10 trips to pick up water.

What about having Charlie deliver NSW for the initial setup? That's what we did with the 300.

I did the same. Tank was filled up in less than 30 minutes.
