Used Tank question.

[CaptainTXS]

Hey all. Not my first tank, but first time having this problem.

When I lived in Houston I dabbled with my first salt tank. It was a 120 gal tank and I learned alot. However I have since moved across the country and now reside in Michigan. I have an opportunity to potentially purchase a 46 gallon tank which is currently set up in the secure area of an airport. It currently has a dozen or so fish in it, coral, etc. When I do decide to move it, I would like to for my sake, start fresh. What to do with the live critters in it now? The tear down and setup is going to take a couple of days as I do not live necessarily close and there is time involved getting it out of the airport.

Would local fish store purchase them off of me? Allowing me to set it up and let the tank cycle in its new home? Thanks.

Hi and welcome to R2R!

You could ask the store, they might not give you money, but many will offer credits.

You can see if you can trade them for stuff you need. You can also see if any locals would want them for the cheap.

Just take pictures and try to set up the livestock transfer before tearing down the tank. Hopefully there's an LFS close to the airport.

Many stores will take the fish and corals for credit. Just don't expect retail prices.
