Update: All remaining live rock found a good home. Only the stands are left. 187 stand goes to @ashburn2k a 105 stand to @OdinDT. And a lot of miscellaneous aquarium gear.
Thanks: for all the extra help @euod and @ashburn2k with taking the lead and coordinating everything. I am very, very...
We're almost done! We will likely schedule Wednesday evening to get the rest out. I will text everyone who helped break down two tanks.
All livestock found homes. Unfortunately, we still had a Brute left of live rock still in salt water. It is aptasia infested but nice sizes.
Anyone...
Everyone,
Sorry for the delayed communication. I am a little overwhelmed with moving all my personal items and getting settled.
I have been texting/dming with Eric @OnTheReef, Hui @ashburn2k, Thieu @euod, Bruce @Bruce Spiegelman, and Kevin @Kevinar and I really appreciate your offer of help...
Hi Richard, Mario (xcaret) recommended that I reach out to you about donating all my aquarium equipment to Cal Academy. Long story short, I bought 2 reefers' entire inventory last year. My system filed half of my garage. Unfortunately, I am divorcing and sold the house. We need to clear all...
I could use help and advice to find homes ASAP for all my remaining livestock, tanks, and all aquarium equipment. My garage needs to be cleared for the new homeowners by Wednesday, Aug. 23. I moved some items last week, including the RBTA (to Ashburn) but do not have the time to sell...
Bruce,

Maybe this plan:

It is really nice too! I wish I could keep it, but I am joining the Tiny House movement and have to wait until I figure out how to live in a Tiny House and still get back to our beloved hobby (maybe separate greenhouse for the light with solar panels to run cooling?)
Yes, I got a really good deal from Jesse who got out of the hobby when Elos USA changed hands. I plumbed it with a smaller 105 I also picked up from an ex-reefer.
Speaking of donations, I would love to donate to the club the industrial grade tank moving suction holders I got from Jesse (original ELOS US owner) when I bought his entire inventory. We will need those to move Jesse's industrial grade 187 tank.
Everyone, thank you for all your ideas about storing and rebuilding. BUT I have always wanted to live a minimalist lifestyle. For the time being, I am living in an RV. The long-term plan is to buy land outside the Bay Area, build a Tiny House, and a "Hobby Building". So I am taking this...
The Mandarin and Powder Blue are yours! I am glad they are going to you Bruce. I was really lucky to get those two in great shape directly from a wholesaler by LAX. Let's touch base on Monday.
