Steps to take to decom tank?

[ervine]

Hi guys,

After 4-5yrs of reefing I'm thinking of closing shop for now, maybe convert my tank to a freshwater for the time being...

As such I was thinking of bringing down my tank bit by bit, but not sure what's the best way to do so. What should go first etc?

Thanks!

Hrmz, i went through that painful step a few months back. What i did was to sell off all the corals first and whatever LS that could be caught easily. Didnt want to do any damage to the corals while trying to fish out the LS. After the corals have been cleared, you'll have a much easier time catching the fishes and inverts.

Get ready loads of plastic bags, rubber bands and extra water in tubs

Ooops... been so busy I forgot I posted this.

Catching the fishes, do you remove the LR first? I'm worried about stressing them.

so what LS do you have to sell? do you have a kole tang?

Nope... will put up a WTS soon, need to settle some other stuff first...
