Im a service manager for a aquarium installation and maintenance co. We tore down a 280g f/O and a 500G reef. The tanks were up for grabs....After some measurments, I was only able to get the 280 Down to my basement. Would shure have been nice to get the 500 down there! Anyways.....I have a good sized tank and system to start toying with in the next few months. I do have to buff it out, the client had a huge mappa in there and he scratched the hell out of it with his chompers. Ill keep updating this post with my progress.

I should have said, I have the sump, skimmer, main pump, skimmer pump, chiller,uv ...Its a turn key system. I just have to figure out what im going to stock it with... After all having to service up to 20 tanks a week both reef and fish onlys every day I see almost every thing in this hobby. Any Ideas will be more than welcome.

Wow, that's awesome! So they were just going to pitch everything if no one wanted it?

I still have no idea. I have so many options. Plus I get my fish at whole sale price so that just opens my options too. Right now at my shop we have a large mappa, miniatus and niger that need a good home. But then again puffers scratch acrylic, and the miniatus and trigger are super aggressive. I just dont know what im going to do.

You don't HAVE to go big, make a huge reef with medium reef dwelling fish. Things like small puffers, gobies, and a large school of chromis!!! You could go larger too and get things like blue throat triggers, larger wrasses, and even lion fish!!
