Moved My 105 g Last Weekend

Martyd · Feb 2, 2015

Sump pulled, which was easier than I thought it would be.

Buckets ready. I used 12 in total.

Everything ready to move.

Decided to put some equipment in an adjoining closet, which was almost a disaster. Missed it by that much!

Stand placed.

Brought in the young guns to place the tank.

Sump going back in. Decided to use slip fitting this time.

Refill started.

All filled. Believe it or not, the live rock is in the tank. There are no fish at this point.

One week later :)

Always good to see a successful move with no losses.
You got lucky on that pipe, I can see a scratch on the pipe !!!
Had the same when they were drilling my concrete floor and that was very scary.

I learned a very valuable lesson; check twice, cut once and always look on the next floor to see what's above you :)
