Hopefully starting on the 4th tearing down my 4' 150 reef. Going to a 265. Will be a job since I put 150 in and tiled floor and the 265 is going in it's place. So remove everything from 150. Tile floor grout tile and paint wall behind tank since wife wants to change colors. Then new sand add all of live rock and sand and water and plumb it in. Making 300 gallons of water. Equipment will be 4 mp40s on battery backup 3 radion xr30pro 6 t5s. Tunze osmolator. Reef octopus skimmer. Trigger systems sump. Will have a dual reactor and of course dosing pump and finnex 800 watt heater. Most of the equipment is on my 150. Going to use rock I have for now and when it gets settled add some more to rockscape. Crossing fingers everything will make it. Got a ammonia badge to montior that part. Will post pics when we start.
