    What a bad way to dig up a old thread. Roger was telling me about this yesterday, I had no idea you two even had a thread till today. Best of luck with the clean-up and removal.

    Have you guys chosen a replacement yet? ;)

    Christ that sucks I'm sorry to hear, why not just get that tank reseamed though and reset it back up? it's way cheaper than starting from scratch plus you wont be happy downgrading I know I wasnt hence the 90g lol

    BTW if that sailfin needs a home let me know the shipping to 74128 I've been looking for a healthy one and none of the LFS here get them, only tangs you can buy locally are scopas, yellows and nasos :(

    I cut out the pipes connected to the bulkheads on the 180 today, and we took out the overflow supply and returns. Roger says no free bulkheads for the dudes picking up his tank. I guess some guys are coming tomorrow to take the tank. From the looks of the thickness of the bottom panel, it's 3/4 inch glass, so that's heavier than my 180! Smelled like low tide.

    I also cut down and reassembled the 180 canopy to fit a 90 gallon (from 72x24 to 48x18). And we had beers ;D. Met ThatGuy and his future wife as well.
