Craiglist Aquisition

congrats!!!! Ok now get busy and get that thing home - we demand pics of it all as you set it up at your home

You really did score a big prize with this. Chalk another one up for a Team 3reef member

 

It will be moved in two weeks as the present owner is moving some of the fish into his new tank. I drooled over his new one too! His live rock in the new tank has some of the best formations I've seen.

While I'm really looking forward to having it here, I am absolutley dreading moving day and set up. Present owner suggested a minimum of 4 strapping men and a set of glass suction cups for the move. I'm figuring on taking all passenger seats out of my van, bringing our Ford F150 pickup and a friend's Chevy pickup. Wondering if maybe a drywall handtruck might be a good idea as well.

It is already officially called THE BEAST!

 

Okay the BEAST moving day is the 18th of April! I decided to pass on the damsels and large Tomato Clown, the 2 tangs are definitely Scopas. They will come with me.

Wish list Choices:

Emperor Angel
or
Blueface Angel
or
Majestic Angel

Powder Blue Tang
or
Achilles Tang
Snowflake Eel
Pakistan Butterfly
Pearlscale Butterfly
Green Bird Wrasse
Niger Trigger
or
Clown Trigger

Anyone's thoughts on the list?

 

Nice fish list....just make sure those triggers and that eel and any others are reef safe if you plan on keeping corals.

Good luck and post pictures of the move and tank once setup.

 

Pictures yet

 

Moving day is next Sunday the 18th. Will post photos when it is set up an running!

 

From what I have read and heard the Snowflake is fine. My concern is the Niger Trigger, Angels and the Butterflies are trial & error! Cabbage should be okay but not sure about the Gorgonian or hammer. Definitely no plans for any additional corals at this point.

Thanks for the words of warning!
