moving to hsv

[laytonp]

Hello all. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am moving to hsv next month. We are really looking forward to our next stop. We have been in the UK the last year but are now back in the states in phl and are being relocated for work. I am excited to set up a new tank. My last tank was a 55g rr but it has been broken down for over a year now. I am in the market for a new one. Looking to upgrade to at least a 75g, but could go larger if the deal was right. Please let me know if you have anything that fits the bill. It will be a month or so till we are settled in and I can start the build so I am not in a hurry.
Also any advise on shops in the area would be appriciate

Welcome layton. I've just upgraded my tank from a 110 to a 265. I was thinking about keeping the 110g running but I think the 265 will be plenty to keep me busy. The tank is reef ready with one corner overflow. It is 48x18x32. The tank is in good shape, the stand and canopy could use a little work, but not bad really. It has 2x400w metal halide lights and led moon lights. It is plumbed into my system in the basement, but if you (or anyone else) is interested in the tank, I have a 30g tank I will turn into a sump with a skimmer section and a center refugium. It will have a return pump (mag 9.5 I think) and a fairly new koralia evolution 1400. I prob have some other stuff laying around you could use also. Let me know if you are interested

Walker. I might be interested in the 110 you are considering selling. Will need to see if a tank that large will fit in the room I have to set it up in. What are you looking to get for it considering the work required to get the stand up to snuff?

 

[walkerbrody]

For everything probably around $700. Im sure we could negotiate something. The stand isnt bad really, there is a couple pieces of the trim missing, nothing structural. It is still running now plumbed into my main system.

Mike... not sure i am the person your thinking of... where do you work?

 

[laytonp]

Walker... do you have any pics of the tank? I would probably only want the tank if I go for it.

Mike. I look forward to meeting you. You might be thinking of my wife though as she is a new manager there. I am still waiting to hear back from interviews. Hopefully I will get some good news this week on a position here.
Either way we have made it to town and now after seeing my new home office I need to find a rank.
