For the last 2 years the center of our living room has been an island 300DD takes up a lot of room. At Christmas the wife decided that it gets crowded with 16 grandchildren and wants the tank moved to a wall. What a pain. Last week a fellow reefer offered to swap a 96x30x30 Tenecore for our 300DD his tank is empty. Picked it up this weekend and started a new build here are a few pics of the move.
One of the kids

Both tanks

160 pounds of Fiji Pink

Truck and trailer load.
Got plumbing started today won't get far I have to find a suitable sump.
 
Air ride on board bike trailer. Going to start on the sump this weekend going mostly low tech and simple on this build.
 
Been a busy several days circulation 190 gallons of water in the tank, hung 1 Radion got the sump built, installed plumbing and UV. Going to use a 40B for ATI container, and put a Refugium over it to gravity feed into sump. Here are a few pics of progress.
Return header top valve is to pump waste out during water change


First try at a reactor header going to use a mag 7.5 to feed GFO,Carbon and CARX, 4th line will feed th fuge.


One Radion and 190 gallons waiting for the swap over.

Test this AM checked 3 times good enough for me no GFO no drops biopelletts, and low bio load.
