Tank Move

[cindre2000]

Well, next week, on the 7th, there is going to be some new carpet installed in the room with the 125. This aquarium is actually at the University of South Carolina, one I set up and am keeping an eye over the summer. It looks like I will be in charge of moving the aquarium out of the way for half a day so new carpet can be put in.

I was just wondering if you guys had any great suggestions to make this run a little smoother. Its a 125 with a stand and a canopy with 3- 150 watt DE metal halides. Two overflows, a 15 gallon sump connected to a 15 gallon refugium. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Isaac

Lots of rubber maid containers and lots of help will go a long way. Get more container than you think you will need. Do you have a sand bed? If you do you may want to cosider ditching it and starting over. It will more than likely get stired up and mess with the water quality. Moving a 125 will probably take the better part of a day. Get a power head for each container to keep the water from getting stagnant. Make sure you have some surface aggitation.
