Successful Tank Move (mostly)

[Chameleon]

Well yall after a long weekend and an unhappy wife I completed a grueling tank move trading out my old tank for one slightly smaller but drilled. Here are a few pics of the progress for your enjoyment

unfortunately I lost 2 of my larger acro colonies (still have frags) and some other browned out a bit, but overall it was a success. Now I just need to sell off the second tank to make the wife happy. BTW house is still a disaster! oops

 

[Chameleon]

oh still neeed to get sand in display too...just waiting to sell of tank 2for funds...

oh man, I look forward the day I can upgrade tanks but dread it at the same time.. lol

Man nice job looks great and everyone seems happy for the most part. cool i might have to get some pointers from you I have to move my 120 my 46 and my 29 three states away. I think I am going to use this as an excuse to upgrade and set up a tank in the new house before i get there. I bet I can make my girlfriend madder then your wife lol

LOL,Indeed, that's what I'm looking forward to real soon. The new tank looks awesome, well stocked too! Now you just need a bigger one in the corner where the old one is.......jk

That is exactly what I did! lol
I siphened all the water out and took out the rock while the new one was still on my truck then slid it across the floor and set the new one up in the same place the old one used to be

otherwise I wouldn't have ever had both tanks empty of water as you can see in the photos...lol

Congrats on finishing. It's tough work for sure, I moved my tank across town to a new apt. Took me 5 hours with 5 people. Then setup a holding tank for a week, while I set up the old tank. I only thought I hated moving moving before I was a reefer, now I really hate moving!

Nice job on setting up the new tank definitly a lot of work. Was a lot of work when I had to move my fw planted tank, don't even want to think about what it is going to take to move my sw setup when it is time.
