I have a 40 gallon tank with stand and sump and t5 lights that's ready to go if you want to borrow for temporary livestock housing and a little rock. I'm not setting up qt tank for a week or 2 if u need. It fit in my Altima so you could pick up in your car

Hello everyone, I got a 100g sitting in my living room right now. All I gotta do is slowly transfer everything over. Thank you so much for all the help, advice, and concern. As usual, this community totally rocks. Will update on the situation. My lease is up in a few months so I will try and sell everything to good homes in the following days. Many many thanks to all.

Hey I don't live too far and have an extra tank running with only a large damsel in it. If you need something to house some livestock for a while you are welcome to use it.

I am on Palace dr, just up from Qualcomm stadium.

PM'd you my number.

Hey everybody, in the pic is my current status. Thanks to those who helped or even offered to help, or advice, or kind words. It's been a LOT of work and I'm beat but I think everything is as good as it can be in this situation. Hopefully stirring the sandbed and all the moving around isn't going to kill everything in the next 24h. IF, and that's a big if, my livestock doesn't die, I am going to believe it's immortal from now on. Look for my "for sale" threads in the following day(s). I am going to sell all my livestock and equipment to good homes. For now, I am going to rest. I have work in the morning and will not be off until 6:30pm. After that, I will start posting for sale livestock and so on. Thank you so much and congratulate yourselves because you freakin' rock.

Yeah, note my total ghetto LED stands and arrangements.

just curious how things are doing now

[bladedrummer]

I had no deaths, everything survived. Since I am moving in a few months, I decided to sell everything. Sold everything except a big crypto candy cane colony (60+ heads), a rock with zoas and spongodes, and my coral banded shrimp. Once those are gone, I will sell the equipment. All in all, I was lucky in the unluckiness.

awesome news!! good to hear.
did you fix the crack or just get rid of the tank?

I am actually going to get rid of the tank, unless someone is interested in it for whatever reason (glass work?). I would not risk losing a $1k+ reef tank by reusing a tank that is probably worth $70.

[FDdragon]

yeah, I wouldn't risk it either. I was wondering just in case that ever happened to me...I would know if I can fix the tank or not. but sounds like the best course is to get a new one. cool.
