I'm sure sorry to hear about your fire.

Unfortunately, I don't think I have enough room to make your trip worthwhile.

I hope you can find some help.

thanks.. i posted in the general forum too looking for help. i was freaking out. i got 2 battery airpumps and turned up the heat in my house so hopefully i will have enough time to move my tank somewhere else. i guess they should be okay now *i hope*

If you can't find anyone with room try calling some LFS there and here in Orlando. Depending how big your soft corals are I have a 54g soft coral tank that could house those if you have to split them up.

We have a new 90 gallon reef tank with cured live rock and live sand. We're working on setting up the lighting now, should be in place soon. At present the lighting is just the stock 40 watt bulb. We'd be happy to give your treasures a temporary home if you need it and want to drive to west Orlando.

I live in Jax and my tank is pretty much empty - also have an unused 90 that still has a live sand bed in it.

Your welcome to use my tank if you like. E-mail me at chriss@stis.net.

Btw, I'm sorry to hear that you had a fire. I think that's a big concern for all of us who are overloading our circuits with our tanks.
