Reef goals for the day.
-Clean glass in both tanks (I can’t remember the last time I did)
- check new saltwater
-decide where I’m gonna move the evo
-water changes on both tanks
- move evo during water change to its new location.
-try to bribe several dudes to come over one day in the future to help move new tank into the house.

*I also need to run some tests but if I’m honest with myself, it won’t happen.

On the couch….. lol JK
Indiana… husband has two friends and I’ll make @F i s h y come over to do it. just coordinating them all to be free at the same time is the trick.

Me the hubs could do it ourselves if the tank and stand didn’t need to be moved at the same time. I don’t want to cut the plumping to separate it.

Are there no unions on the plumbing?

I don’t think so because Jeremy said he would have to cut the plumbing to bring it down in two trips. So he loaded it together and transported it with the tank on the stand.

Which also means you can't easily remove the plumbing, to clean, or if needed.

Before putting water in it, I'd cut the plumbing where it makes sense, and install unions.

I got almost everything done on the the to do list despite my condition. :face-with-head-bandage: The only thing we decided not to do was move the evo. After talking things of with @F i s h y. It’s sounds like it would be best to redo the plumbing schematics on my new tank. Definitely not the news I wanted to hear and I’ll be honest I’m bit overwhelmed. However I do want it done correctly, so I’ll give into the process.:smirking-face: I do feel fortunate to have people so awesome to hold my hand, because I am way out of league.

The new tank was plumbed as a single overflow and single return through the tower, correct?

What's the plan? Herbie the overflow and drill the back for dual returns?

Piece of cake if so.

may not be enough room behind the weir for enough holes.
