I have priced a 90gal Marineland tank, stand, and canopy for $814.00. This was a good price, but not what I had expected.
With much debate, I have decided to keep the 120gal, stand, sump w/refrug, 9w UV, and maybe 1 of 3 TLF Phosband reactors.
* All inhabitants, decor were removed.
* 1 gallon of 'White Wine Vinegar' added to the water and ran for 24 hours; skimmer, sump w/refrug, SCWD, PVC, external pump.
* Coraline algae scrapped and water drained.
* All equipment washed and lubed.
* Stand will be transported to the garage for remodeling; height reduction by 11 inches, cut off the right-side chambers, (re-paneled to include a right-side window viewing), and cut the left-side panel for side viewing.
* Once the Living/Formal Dining rooms are re-floored (wood flooring) and wall re-painted (where the stand was/is placed), the remodeled stand and leftover equipment will be transported from the garage and put back in place.
* The new setup will be freshwater for raising several of my favorite cichlids; 'Central American Cichlids' - Vieja Melanurus pair and Vieja Synispilurm
The Euro-reef RS-100 ($200) and 1 or 2 TLF Phosband reactors ($25 Used/$30 Never Used) are all the items that I have left for purchase.
