Hi all, new boy here. I have a problem. A friend of mine who has lost the love of fish keeping has decided that he no longer wants his boyu tl550 saltwater tank,and he's told me that if he can't find a home for it and his fish, then he wont have a choice but to get rid of them and believe me I dare not repeat what he said on a fish keeping forum. the tank has been running for about 3 years now, although i'm only going on the info i've been given, i believe it is FOWLR SETUP, not sure what fish or how many, pretty sure he said clown's but can't be exact, anyway as I cant let any animal suffer, i have decided to take it off his hands via a look at it first, but unfortunatley as I have not got a clue on how to look after marine fish or coral and the fact i'm already looking after my 55g cichlid tank, i'm not prepared to look after them but I do want the tank as I now have a plan for it and I dont want the fish or live rock to suffer.
I'm going to view the tank in a couple of days so by then I will have an idea exactly whats in his tank and i'll keep you all updated. God knows how he gonna transport it from his place to mine with 28 gallons of water in it as he said its important we keep as much water as possible to stop it from re-cycling when it re-setup.
Once it is back up and running I will basically be stuck with an established marine tank with not a clue on how to maintain or look after them and I can't bear the thought of letting them suffer, so Is ther anyone on here thats willing to give the fish and the rock/coral a new home. I don't want anything for them, just peace of mind knowing that there no longer my responsibility. please help!
