Hey guys! Haven't been very active in a few years. I'm moving from my house in Spring, to a small townhome in midtown. I've currently got a 40 gallon breeder with a 20g long sump, on a custom made cabinet. It's been running since April 2012! I'm moving in two or so weeks, and need to start thinking about a tank move. This tank is old, the plumbing is old, the overflow was drilled a bit low. I'm thinking about getting a smaller tank, due to size of my new place. Thinking about a 24" cube.
I'm thinking of looking for a 24" cube that someone has, or, worst case, buy a new one with a stand. I've got to then, start with new sand, and then move everything over the day of the move (i'll have 7 days to move actually, so it will make it easier on me). I guess I'll move live rock in tupperwares with water.
Current livestock:
2 clowns
1 goby with a shrimp
Snails and crabs
12 or so Rose bubble tip Anemones (they keep multiplying every year, maybe i should sell some!? i wont have room in a 24" cube)
8" toadstool leather
25" or so of green star polyps taking up most of one side of the glass
A giant rock full of zoanthis
Any tips, recommendations, available tanks you guys have to trade for my breeder, or sell me? Advice, blabber welcome!
Edit: I will have a garage, and my tank would fit there, but I'd need a chiller. It's a well insulated garage, but was about 90 in there the other day when I checked. Will a chiller work to bring a 90 degree tank down to 78 degrees water?
