Didn't think this would have been something we had to do when we moved in, but apparently the previous owner put down the cheapest, cruddiest wood floors known to man. ;Facepalm

I saw on your other post that it was cheap engineered wood flooring - I think most people don't realize there is a difference tagging along with the price! Like most things...

That does suck.

I am sorry to hear about that @d2mini about the floor. I really hope everything works out for you on moving the tank.

Every time I set up a tank, it runs for 2-3 years and then I move or something.
Now we decided to do some work on our house including all new flooring.

Not sure what's going to happen but meeting with the contractor today to kick things off. Planning on moving the tank to one of the bedrooms for the next few months or so. Not going to be fun. ;Shifty

How long have u been in the hobby for? Tank looks amazing. You moved a lot doesn’t that affect your tank. Did u successful move your tanks without any losses? Loving the build following along!

I haven't moved tanks from one home to another. Always started new with a completely different tank.

It rained last night but it let up for an hour or two so we still were able to get out there.
Good thing, after spending about an hour and half on this ensemble. lol

Well, let's see... there were children running into their homes in terror, little ones hiding behind their parents, a little bit of crying, and even a UPS driver that almost hit a parked car.
I'd say the evening was a success.

Good to hear u had success. I tried the same but was met with failure. I tried tying red balloons to someone’s car that I knew waited to see if it will work. Then someone came and took it to use for their prop lol
