Well we are semi-moved in but still working on it! We have our old house leased for the rest of the month so we have been able to take our time which works out great when you have to move an aquarium right?
The plan is to move the tank when all the "other" things get moved. The tank is on auto pilot with the controller, water top off, etc. I have been going over and feeding.
Anyway I plan to create a large batch of saltwater here at the new place and prepare a large "feeding" tub from the local feed store to receive the rock, fish, and coral. After it is ready I will bag all the fish, fill rubbermades with rock, coral, water and move them to the prepared tub and acclimate them to the new water, mixing in about 30% or so of the old tank water.
After that I will take my time to move the tank, stand, sump and plumbing over to a temporary place in the new house and then move all the inhabitants back to the tank.
As far as the new tank goes, it is being built. That's about as far as it goes! Ha! For now here are a few photos of where the new tank will go.
Tank will be in the wall on the far right side. That wall is about 14' so the new tank will take up over half of the wall but centered.
Pardon the moving boxes and junk but this is where I will build the tank room behind the aquarium. The wall to the left, under the light is where the tank will be.
I am going to have to run water over there but it doesn't look like it will be a problem to have that done. I want a sink and drain but have to figure out how to get that done.
Thanks for looking!
