The time has come - taking down my 460 G system and moving to new tank in Indiana

[Greg Hiller]

I just looked back and saw the year I set this up - 2005! Almost 21 years running!

Here are some of the early threads about this tank:

Thread 'Greg needs people to help move 460 G tank'

Jan 12, 2005

Anybody willing to lend a hand? Sunday around noon. My place in Wakefield.

I'm going to be picking up my 460 gallon Starfire/Diamante low-iron glass tank in New Jersey and will need to get it off the truck and into my garage on Sunday, Jan 16th (this Sunday). I probably need about 10 or more people. Unfortunately, I will not be able to move the tank directly into the tank room as the room is not complete.

If you can make it to help PLEASE POST BELOW and email me for directions if you need them. Anybody coming that hasn't seen my other tanks is welcome to a tour. You can also...

Here's the tank I'm moving it to:

This tank is built under the stairs of the house we built here on our farm in Indiana. Plumbed to the basement of course. It's 6 3/4 ft x 4 ft and about 26 inches high I think. I set it up about 8 months ago, but it had a number of problems at first. The biggest problem was with cloudy water, but that finally resolved itself and things are looking quite healthy now. I finally gave in and decided to go with LED's for this tank, but I'm not going for the super blue Disney Electric Light Parade look. For me the lighting looks about like what you see when you dive a reef at about 60 feet in the Indo-Pacific. I still have some of the larger SPS to move in, but that will happen in the next 1-2 weeks.
