My tank is in the midst of a meltdown right now. Apparently all of my noobie mistakes (this was my first tank) are catching up to me as well as using crap quality live rock...Not only that but every infestation known to the hobby has decided to chill in my tank save perhaps a couple of species of carnivorous worms. Not even kidding.

So at this point I am looking to break down the tank. However, my fish need a temporary home until I can get my 90g up and running and cycled. I have a mated pair of Ocellaris clowns, a Pajama Cardinal, and a Purple Pseudochromis. I also have numerous snails and hermit crabs obviously. My coral frags are, for the most part, all infested with various types of algae so I'm not sure anyone would be interested in taking them, but I do have a couple of clean frags if someone is willing to take a chance on them if they have a QT system for corals.

If anyone would be willing to take my fish until I can get my new system together, I would be eternally grateful. These fish are 100% healthy, I have never had a single health issue with any of them. They all eat Spectrum, Omega One, Ocean Nutrition, and SFBB frozen food. I've had them all for about 1.5 years.

You could set up a small qt type tank for your infested stuff as well just lots of water changes to keep it going, just an idea dont know if it would be possible or not

I am thinking about it. I may start the 90g build up and house the fish my my future QT tank and just keep up with 10% or so water changes in the QT every day until I get the 90g cycled and ready for the fish to go in. I'm pretty sure i don't want ANYTHING at all from my current system going anywhere near the new one. I plan on nuking the rock and starting fresh. I have 100 lbs of dry base rock waiting.

Well if you decide that you dont want to chance it, I have a 29g tank that is currently not in use. I could set it up for temporary housing if you want. Let me know.

I have clowns in all my tanks except a 10 I use for baby frags. You are welcome to use that. It think it would be too hard to get them out of my other tanks.

Hey man pretty sure we work together at lowes... If you want I could probably house some of your corals, just might want to clean them up a bit :). Not sure about fish I know I could house 1 or 2 but don't want my fish to bully yours around
