Since selling my system back in January, due to work issues (company sold, everyone fired, etc. etc.), I've been contemplating getting back into the hobby. I couldn't resist responding when a BRS member, Kristen a.k.a. Greenie, posted up her 50G reef setup for free.
She was kind enough to pass on the following:
With the help of a buddy I went over today and picked everything up. After getting it home I transferred everything to a 40B I bought last week at the Petco sale 'just in case' I got back into the hobby. As of now all the livestock and most of the rock is happily at home in the 40B in the basement.
Once everyone was settled I began the task of cleaning up the tank, stand, and sump. This included removing the old bulkheads, old plumbing, and accidentally removing the overflow box (looked sort of like a glass holes box). Tomorrow I'll finish cleaning the tanks and painting the stand black. I'll also try and get the parts to redo the plumbing.
Here's some pics of the system before moving it to my house:

- 50Gal tank and stand, with sump
- Skimmer and return pump
- Light fixture(s)
- Fish: Pair of clowns, black sabie clown, mimic tang and pseudochromis
- Corals: 3 btas, flower anemone, purple tube anemone, large purple/silver hammer coral, green tip frogspawn, large purple duncan and a few more
- Tons of gorgeous live rock
