	Buying an established tank
stuquarium Enthusiast Posts: 262 Kudos: 275 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Oct-2004	hi guys, i'm about to recieve my 1st marine tank, i've been reseaching marine tanks, and drooling over them for ages now. the tank i'm reciving has been established for some time, it will be dismantled, and moved to my house. fish included. (clowns) i'm getting all the filters, pumps, LR, etc and lighting, sand that it had in its original home, do you guys have any advice on how i can help the move be as stress free on the fish as possable?

It works well and I havent had any fish losses from the actual move. As far as moving the tank, how much sand is in the tank? What size is the tank? The reason I am asking is because not disturbing the sand bed will be a huge benefit if you can move the tank that way.
