Looks like I'm tearing down my tank

[PensFan05]

Got the bad news today that there is a main drain pipe busted under the slab. And wouldn't you know it the tank is in the part of the house where the foundation will have to be busted up. Now I have to decide on what to do. Tear down and set back up in temporary spot, sell it all and start over, or the option I'm leaning towards sell all the contents, keep tank and equipment and start fresh. Either way not looking forward to it at all.

Recent pic minus all zoas and palys. They were all being fragged since I was getting ready for the Nashville swap.

Move it to a temporary place....tank is beautiful and worth the effort to me!

Wow Chris. Sorry to hear. im eyeballing some of your sps already if you decide to sell off and restart. =)

If it were me, id try and move it to another spot temporarily, thats for sure.

Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, it's just such a pain to tear down and set up I hate to do it twice within a few weeks. I have already moved it twice. I bought it from Jay two years ago. We took it down from the SECOND floor of his house and moved it to my house. Then 8 months later we moved and had to do it all over again. Still weighing out pros and cons on my options.

I'm looking for the 'like' button. Wait - this isn't Facebook. Ha!
Seriously Chris, that sucks. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

If you sell, I call first dibs on the Red Planet Colony.

Just bring it all up here and set it back up! Just call and I will head that way. What ever you decide I will help !! We will call it the great double rearrange!!!

Well I have decided just to move my tank to a temporary spot while the work is being done on the house. I am going to sell a few things though before I move the tank. I will make a new post soon for that.

Well my brother and I got the tank moved today. Here's a couple pics while moving.

Cooler full of coral.

Bucket of chalices. This is just my larger colonies.

Large birds nest colony.

Still have to move a few rocks. Not too concerned though since it has to be moved again in a few weeks. :debi:
I'm thinking the large birds nest may need a new home now. Don't really see where it will fit the way I want to do my aquascape.
