If you decide to leave the system in the basement, talk with the contractor before hand. Find out where he would need it moved to. You don't want to move it somewhere it will be in the way and they'll still wind up having to work around it. The contractor is probably going to need quite a bit of room to work. Tool storage and whatnot could potentially spill over into other rooms.

Do you have a build thread? How big is the system? What is it stocked with?

Thanks for the info, I thinking about breaking it down into different systems. I just dont think its worth the time and effort right now. Maybe because im just ****ed off about the whole situation haha.

my current setup:

- 5ft tank, it works out to around 150g
- 80g sump
- 2 Radion LED lights. Both have been replaced under warranty, 1 is brand new, 2nd one has only been running for about a month
- 2 Vortech MP40W
- 150ish lbs of LR (90% is eco rocks)
- a green bubble tip anemone that split into 5 over time within a year
- some zoas
- blue throat trigger, yellow tang, kole tang, chromis, wrasse (not sure which type), some shrimp, snails, hermits.. etc..


What I was thinking about doing was, sell off all my livestock, tank, stand and sump. See if we buy a new house, start over and have Dave build me a new tank stand and sump (something bigger )

or

Sell everything off and enjoy the nice cash injection? I have been bugging the wife about a new car and retire my truck to offroading haha

That sucks, sorry to hear about the problems.

I personally would first try to find a babysitter for your live stock. If that wasn't able to I would then try to sell most of it off. I would suggest you keep all your equipment and what not because you might not find it for the price you sold it and then that "cash injection" would become a "cash rejection"

If you need a place for your livestock, I'm close to you and can help out if you decide to keep going. Having some issues with my parameters but getting close to getting it resolved.

Good luck with the leak, that totally sucks!

Same here can also do some baby sitting pm me if you like

[Coralgurl]

Yep, Denny is babysitting for me right now too!

[FishyFishy!]

i'm sure you wouldn't have any issues selling that equipment or stocking list either. I'd love those MP40's .....

Let the Vultures start circling!!!! mmwwuaahaha
