thanks for all the reponses and offers for help. i really appreciate it.

i think i got everything under control now, everything is in my 20, my sump, my old 40 and a couple large tubs.

i went to look at some tanks earlier today and all i can find are 180s that are not predrilled, that is they dont have built in overflows. and i would really prefer a tank with built in overflows and euro bracing or 2 thin braces as oppossed to 1 large brace like my "old" tank had.

so i will be spending the next day or so trying to track down a suitable tank, order one, or possibly do a dramatic downsize.

but i will decide quickly as i am not comfortable housing all this livestock in impromtu housing.

again thanks for all your offers of help and support.

Shao,

Offer is still open if you need any help. Here is my # 604-591-1841

There's some room in my tank if you need to house some corals until you get your new tank.

Hey shao,

I'm sure that you've already looked at this, but Wendell had a couple of very nice tanks at reasonable prices. I'm pretty sure there was a 180 that had 2 overflows pre-installed for $800.

It sounds like all is under control, but if I can be of help setting anything up I am off Sat/Sun and can drive down.

Rob

The recent spate of tank failures is somewhat alarming..

Sorry to hear about your situation, Shao. Good luck getting things settled and back to normal once you've found your replacement tank.

That was a nice fish!
Wasn't that your favorite?

Good luck finding a tank. All these tank failures lately is freaking me out. Personally, I don't know how I would deal with something like this...

I'll see what I can do about getting you a new multibar angel when you are stable again.

hey everyone...
i appreciate all the responses and support...

at this point in time, i cannot find a tank instock that i like. so i will probably need to order one...maybe even downsize. i am very disheartened, frustrated and i really need to clear my mind and think things through.

but my problem, is that i am very uncomfortable keeping all my stuff in holding tanks/tubs...especially after loosing my angel.

i would like to know if anyone would be able to house my livestock, i really do not want to loose anything else and i am afraid my only other option would be to set up a new tank in haste and risk loosing everything by putting the livestock in a brand new system, or selling everything off.
which i dont want to do.

i know some of you have already offered, but can you please respond again or PM me again, thanks.
