downgrading tanks for move and prep for tank of dreams

[txstateunivreefer]

OK so I have mentioned in several posts that I am planning on moving to Matagorda, Texas this winter for a shot at a position that the Lower Colorado River Authroity will be opening up. Whether I choose to take the position or not, I will still be moving out of the central Texas area. Due to my negative thoughts on moving a large tank and the inhabitants such a large distance and taking into account all of the events that can take place with such a large intricate system (i.e. bulkheads failing or anything else, -- Nearest fish store to bay city… Houston 1.5 hrs away) I have decided to part out my system keeping only a few items my reasons for this is I plan on getting a small nano and keeping my favorite items in there so that I don’t loose all of the items I have worked so hard to keep. As for the order of parting out the items it will go in the same order as any sane person would do so livestock: (coral, fish, LR, and LS). Then the equipment.

The items are as follows
Livestock
Fish
Vlamingi tang 4” $35 ***Pending Ace***
Yellow eye kole tang 3.5” $30
2x yellow tang 3”ea $25 ea
