Moving...

Ok...finally got my **** together to move to NY. My 90 gallon rr tank blew a seal while I was tearing it down...is it worth hauling it to NY with me and fixing it there or should I just buy a new one after I get there?

I would just buy a new or used one when you get here, that way you don't need to worry about having to fix it and it possibly leaking in the future again. You also may want to go with a different size tank, depending on your new space.

+1 not worth lugging it.

I would be care full with buying used too. Go new and don't look back good luck on your move

Ok...sell all my lr and buy new our take it with me? Maybe keep a few choice pieces and sell the rest?

If your rock was in good shape (not loaded with phosphate & nitrate) I would keep it all, otherwise sell it and buy new (not previously owned) LR.

..and I agree with the opinions above to leave the old tank behind and get a new one after you settle in.

All great advice , see it this way ! A new start in life in the big apple and a new tank to aquascape and fill in your new place , not to mention , many local reefers with the things you may want at your fingertips. Good luck and keep us posted !

Best of luck with your move. I couldn't agree more with the advice already given.

Safe travels.....and where are you relocating to?

Definitely not worth moving with stinky stuff in a moving truck... Sell it all salvage whatever $$$ amount you can get off it... and keep things that are easier to pack up... ie... controllers... lighting (Maybe selling this off is good as well depending on brand) calcium reactors... etc.... whatever can fit in a box would be more suited for travel than a broken tank and death and decaying rock.

 

[Lunareclipse]

Ok guys. Great advice. I think the only thing I've decided to keep is my lighting system and my salt. I'm selling everything else. I'll hit you guys up again after I get everything moved and get all settled in. I'm moving to Brooklyn.
