| Star Polyps  | 1st post Hi everyone. Just getting started into my first tank. my buddy has one and got me interested, then another buddy has one that he has let go and looks nasty, his wife wants him to get rid of it, his loss my gain, 80 gallon tank with everything for free. If anyone has any hints on moving a tank, they would be greatly appreciated. He has fish, live coral, the works. |
