Woke up this morning and when I came down to my finished basement where my 55g reef tank is, found that our sump had backed up and the carpeted floor is flooded. Looks like we are going to have to pull up and replace all carpeting.
Trying to plan how I’m going to deal with the tank. There’s carpet under it so it’s going to have to be moved in order to replace the carpet under it. I’d love to be able to keep the rock work in place and just lower the water level enough to move the tank for a couple hours. Is this too risky? I know the alternative is to completely dismantle the tank but would love to avoid it.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated. I’ve got about 48hrs to get it figured out.
