    Hi all ( I guess this is better area to post this)
    Looking for help, breaking down and re-installing a 300 gallon swft.
    here is where the forum big help comes handy, what to get and do, and what not buy and don't do. so for this thanks in advance to all forum members.

    brief:
    The tank I'm getting is actually up and running, well maintained (I guess)
    and the "owner" my client got tire of it after a few years, I think 5 years.
    and I been looking to get one for a couple of years not so big,but this is like falling from the sky gift for the $ I'm paying for a tank like this

    This is a fish only tank, so I have a lot of questions.
    Here we go.
    As the tank is up and running, what can I do with the fish? wile re setting up.
    meaning: that I need to break down the tank, and set up again in my house saying this, I need to make changes, or adjustments to fit the equipment, creating a set up that suits where it goes to be installed... I want to ad a lot of live rock and decorations that I already have.
    and all the re-installation will take a few days I'm guessing
    I would like to have corals reefs as soon as possible (when the budget permits)
    I need to run new pipes for filters and power heads etc..
    Get reverse osmosis system, automatic fill , and not sure what else will be necessary or just good to have, Again here is where the forum big help comes handy, what to get and do, and what not buy and don't do.

    I have an area in the other side of the wall that I want to install a sump,
    etc.. so for sure I will need a lot of help to deal with the lack of knowledge.

    Tomorrow I will be taking pictures and creating a list of the actual equipment, so I will post all the info of the existing equipment.
    Looking forward for the new addition ....
    best Weekend to all
    Ed

    We'll look forward to your pics.

    You can keep the fish in clean plastic bins with powerheads, stuff form the old tank, etc.

    Hi there, FreeDiver. Welcome to 3reef.

    Good luck with the move. I'm sure it will be exciting and a bit nerve-wrecking in all the same. Just ask any questions about concerns you may be having.
