Hi there --
So, I'm looking for sage wisdom from those that have moved/upgraded well-established, existing systems. :help:
I have a 65 glass reef that's been in place for 7 years without significant issue and looks great -- unfortunately, somebody whacked the corner of the tank with something and has caused a chip of the side corner near the bottom of the tank thus leaving just a couple of millimeters of seal holding the whole thing together, it seems. :scared: The current system has a substantial variety of reef life with a DSB and just a couple of fish, also with hards and softs.
So, it seems we need to replace the tank -- how do you do that with an established system? I wouldn't tackle it alone, I have a regional FS that can help.
Anybody had the same thing?
Thoughts on how you'd move? Would you bring the DSB -- anybody tried that before? (Thoughts on the DSB -- do you ditch it? )I'm thinking acrylic for the next tank.
Since we're changing the tank, what are those things you would have done it could could have started all over again?
Thanks for taking your time to answer -- horrible problem. Finally got the mature, beautiful tank and it gets hosed. Sigh.
