240 gal. conversion.


Since my wife is going to school full time now, and working half time instead of full, we had to find a place to cut expenses. So we decided awhile back to try and sale our 240 gal. FO tank. Ran it in the paper for some time, but no buyer. So now I am thinking about converting it to a reef, and sale the 125 gal tank instead. If we do go this route, I will go bare bottom. There are a few fish I was dreading having to lose, if I had sold the 240, but now I will be able to keep them. We have a very large crosshatch trigger, it would never have fit in the 125 gal. tank. I took a week off for spring break, and if we commit to this, that would be the best time.
When does the maddness stop?

I hope it all goes well. Let us know how your trigger does in your reef tank.

A 240 is an awesome size tank

Larry, this is still up in the air. I put the large tank back in the paper one more time. If it does not move this time, I will go forward with this project. Then I will sale the 125gal. If so I'll work something out with you.
How are the frags doing? Did the yellow leather attach itself yet? And most importantly, how are my grandson, grandaughter and daughter doing?
