Sorry for your tank troubles, are you going forward with the upgrade? School bus project sounds like a blast.. some local guy near me has one that he shortened and chopped the top on, it’s sick! =)

Better idea - turn the bus into the aquarium and old tank into the RV. It'll be crowded, but you can make it work.

The upgrade will eventually happen, just not for a little while.

Just a bit more and then I’ll be able to catch the rest of the fish... still some rock left to move. Waiting for dust to settle so I can siphon out a bit more water to transfer.

Nolan, did you find the source of the leak?

Not yet... I’m moving painfully slow on this. Which I shouldn’t be since I can still feel moisture under the stand. Hopefully I’ll pull the sump out tomorrow. I’ll fill it in the driveway with the hose to see.

Done with transfer...sleep time. Tomorrow I drain remaining water and tear down. A buddy is coming to help me move the big tank.
Nolan, I'm glad to hear the transfer went ok. Again, I'm sorry to see you or anyone else having to deal with a leak. I bet that was a long and heartbreaking day. When I ripped my 144 apart for a reboot it seemed to take forever. Was the eel an easy catch?

Thanks. Yeah it’s not fun to do. The eel was much easier to net than expected. The only issue is how they use their tail and back out. He was hard to keep in the net. I eventually got him in and covered it with a towel.

Wow... this reminds me of what I SHOULD have done when i drained mine and drilled it. The losses were staggering. Hopefully thanks to your planning and action you wont skip a beat.
Try to look forward to the dream wall build. Sometimes is hard to think of the journey I've had to get my barn tank to what it has become, only to know that it was destined to be torn down eventually no matter what.
Surprises can suck, as this does, but it will not last forever. Good luck with the transition. Pullin for u bud.
When things settle lemme know if u want a juve dendro or if u would rather wait until I grow them out. Makes no difference to me.
Cheers,
Rich

Hope that the leak isn't something too serious; will cross fingers that you can find it quickly today!

Almost impossible to see in the picture but while moving some things in the holding tank I noticed my Rock Flower Anemones have babies! I can count at least 10 of them so far 
The little orange glowing specs in the middle of the rock. it looks like most are tucked under ones skirt and don’t have much color yet.
