well, I kinda accidently bought this tank and everything in it...

An entire truckload just in fish and coral... and just a little extra live rock. My sump is almost full

also have a bunch of live rock this size... (I couldn't lift it out of the tank by myself.)

If I had bothered to clean it, you could see that the 1/2 of the 300 gallon tank that is my frag tank is full... really really full

the second truckload was just equipment..

and a spare sump, and a mess of unused acrylic... and I'm not even sure whats in the boxes, theres also a full bucket of powerheads..

the third truckload brought over the live sand, some stuff I'm to tired to get out of my truck, and the biggest PITA fish to catch... christmas wrasse.

I also added 3 tangs, 3 chalk bass, a CBB (that eats) 1/2 dozen misc small fish, a golden moray eel, a red BTA w/ breeding maroon clowns, coral beauty that ignores corals, phych manderin that eats frozen food, and another dozen corals to my tank as my frag tank is full... Gave DJ the other RBTA some rock and powerheads as he saved my hindquarters getting all that moved and well, he's a cool guy. No one else showed to help.. LOL.

I still have another truckload of stuff, not to mention a 260 gallon tank, stand and sump to move, with 3 pumps running a closed loop.

All for less than a reasonable cost of the 400 pounds of live rock I brought home

My tank is officially full and stocked.... maybe tommorow I'll even take pics of the main tank...I literally just had to cut my boots off because my feet are so swollen.

How did you 'accidently' buy all that great stuff? I can't ever find deals like that on purpose. I'm jealous (not of the swollen feet though). Take it easy getting it all set up. Oh, I did have one question- is the moray a dwarf golden or one of the big boys? I would love to see a pic when everything settles down. I have a DGM and love it.

its a dwarf golden... he was amazed how much it had grown in his tank (when I finally chased it out of the closed loop system Almost 10" long now...

Not actually planning on setting up this tank... not actually sure why I got it other than it was to cheap not to 4 tanks is more than I can handle as it is..

awesome.

now what you can do is combine EVERYTHING into one tank. Just build a 1500g display with a 1000g sump/fuge setup! lol.

LOL... you find me one cheap enough... and help me move everything... My fantasy is about 1870 gallons now. but that involves knocking out a wall of my house, having alot of money, and a whole lot of help moving stuff....

Reef up top, and a mostly visable cave network under the reef. Don't ask me how I would clean the bottom of a 5' tank...

My feet are purple and I can't feel them... just sort of wobbling around today...

My usual helper is out after knee surgery, and one guy did show.. I'm stubbern and with enough pain pills I can pretend I'm ok for a while. After the legs go numb I just have ot watch my balance.
