Making headway in neglected tank

Terri Caton · Dec 10, 2019

I bought a 139 g from a doctors office they were tearing down. Below is a photo the day it was moved and now week 4. Still a few things to get rid of in there (and more to be added of course

but I think coming along pretty well!

Nice transformation. Testament to a little TLC, time and you can have a beautiful reef! Nice save!

Thanks you guys. Well, TLC really are my initials

If you look hard you can see some of the corals and the 2 Maxima clams in the 1st pic. Definitely a nightmare for the livestock. Poor things. The tank was WAY over stocked with fish so some were re-homed and the rest went into quarantine for a couple of weeks just to make sure. I was actually able to trade some of the fish for a team to move the tank for me so that was a win.

Not a job for the faint of heart but a great deal if you're willing to take on something like that.
