Hi all,
I am due to pick up a 320L marine set up on Wednesday that is all ready to go. It has been a year or two since I have last had a tank, I have had 2 or 3 in the past, 2 small ones and 1 mid sized one, although I have always started from scratch and never brought one that is already set up.
I will be transporting it approx 30min drive, so not too far.
The guy that we are buying it from has had it for a year so it is established, he said to take half the water with us and fill the other half with new water once we are home.
If we have storage containers for the water and put fish inside these (8 fish all up in tank), use separate containers for the rock.
There are also a few corals, but they will really need to go in a smaller container so they cant move around, is that correct?
There is a sump with the tank.
Would I be ok to get the water I need from the ocean, at full tide, and wade out a bit so as not to get too dirty water, he has been doing this in the past due to water restrictions etc (Australia), does the water need to have anything done to it before using it?
What are the other important things i may need to know before i transport the tank?
Here is the description of what we get:
320L marine aquarium 132cm x 52cm x 48cm.
Set up includes:
1 x Amphiprion ocellaris - Clown fish
1 x Amphiprion ephippium - Tomato Clown fish
1 x Siganus unimaculatus - Rabbit fish Foxface
1 x Centropyge bispinosa - Coral Beauty
1 x Zebrasoma Scopas - Scopas Tang
1 x Dendrochirus brachy - Dwarf Lionfish
1 x Ptereleotris evides - Arrow Goby
1 x Turbinaria reniformis - Yellow Scroll Coral
1 x Pavona decussata - Lettice Coral
1 x Millepora alcicornis - Fire Coral
6 x Assorted Mushroom Coral Invertebrates
1 x Trochus sp. snail
2 x Ophionereis reticulata -Brittle Starfish
1 x Urchin
1 x Holothuria hilla - Tiger tail Cucumber
Lighting:Octopus fitting (see pic) 2 x 1.2m T5 white 1 x 1.2m T5 Blue 5 x Double Blue LED,
40kg Live Rock
5000L/hour Pump
