JD here. I have been into loaches for probably 12 years and as with all good things, this too is coming to an end. I am done with fish tanks after some 2 decades in the hobby, it’s the end of an era. Therefore I am having an every thing must go sale, one of those going out of business deals:) Shari2 is going to take some stuff, but my primary item is the 90 gal tank. It’s all setup and planted and I would like to see someone take it as a whole system. This 90 was setup in 1997 and has been running ever since. That stand and hood are home made, and you may be able to see in the photos, they are furniture grade. The picture is a little to red, but you get the idea. There are 6 four foot tubes for lighting and a pressurized CO2 system. The plants are all live, and doing well, but I have been neglecting my duties lately and the overall arrangement is not as good looking as the last photos. The 90 is 48”*18”*24” tall and with the stand and hood the whole deal stands 57” tall. Because of the filters on the back, its 23 inches from the wall to the front of the tank. I have clowns, striata, nigroliniata, rostrate, Dario, sids, histionica and others.
Who ever buys this setup will also get a lifetime supply of miscellaneous stuff:) After collecting things for 20 years, there is quite a pile.
I have moved this tank once before without a death and can tell ya how to do it.
There are some photos here.

Let me know if you are interested, I am only polling local people since I want to sell it as a setup. I am also polling the loach board since I would prefer my loaches to go to and experienced loach keeper
I am north of Allentown PA. clownloachfan, MoonPye, Icewall42, chris1932, adamrf1126 are a few I thought may be interested, anyone else??

Seriously - I don't know you, and can't help you with the tank(s) from 4,000 miles away, but I get the sense that the loach community will be poorer.
