Hello fellow reefers-
My wife and I have seperated and I need to move my ten year old reef tank.
It's a 48" 40gl, and being finacially impaired, I need a tank with the same footprint so I can just move the equipment over, I want to set up another tank though to begin a cycle and move the inhabitants slowly to minimize casualties. When I set the tank up, several of these drilled 40gl's were floating around this forum, most people were using them for frag tanks, but again because of my impairment, mine was my show tank! It has been a good one, but I'm just wondering if anyone still has one thats not in use. They came from and old LFS in B'ham that went out of bussiness in the late 90's. They are something like 48"x16" with predilled overflows in each corner, I paid $10 for mine. Anyhoo- i doubt anyone remembers them or has one even, but I thought it was worth a shot.
A regular old 55gl would work for now if the price was right. I just need it to be 48" so I can use my canopy and stand. Now i'm running 4x96wt PC's over a 40 with good results. the tank has been self sufficient, meaning no water changes, and no filtration for the last five years, other than carbon! And all the softies are thriving, along with some monti's(digi's and a cap.) and a pagoda cup, and superman monti. I have alot of frags of anthelia(pink with light green centers) several pink kenya tree frags, from 2"-5" mounted. I have alot of green hairy mushies and several pink and brith green fuzzy mushrooms I could part with, although none of the mushrooms are mounted, they'd have to be chipped of the rock. If anyone has equip. to trade or sell, or would just like to buy or trade corals, post or PM me. I have six brand new 36" PC bulbs, a used CSL PC retrofit 24" with good ballast (needs new bulbs) and new submersible heaters in the boxes. Also two 12" cube tanks with bulkhead overflows.
Thanks for any help,
Nick......aka reeferaddict:bum:

I just got back on RC a few days ago and hours after my post I've gotten four offers for help!
