Hey guys, I'm about to move my system about 25 miles away. Just bought my first home. :-)
Current system is a very full 40b/30l fuge and 20l sump. Switching to a 75g/30l fuge and 29g sump. Just bought the used 75 with a low pro herbie bean animal overflow. Built in utility bar. Not gonna use the stand. I'm building my own today. Need it extra large to accomidate the fuge and sump underneath.
I did a final cleaning of my system yesterday. Should build the stand this week and begin the move in the following week. I will try to keep this updated. :-)
Here are pics of the system now and the new tank. Wish me luck ;-)

What a BEAST of a backyard. I'm so jealous! So excited for you!

Is that your driveway? That must suck in winter.

It's what keeps me here is LA. Warm winters and cool summers.

Congratulations on the new home, let us know when the housewarming BBQ is, we'll all be there :p Best of luck with the move. I'm actually in the same boat as you, having to move myself. Document everything so I have something to reference when it's time to move my reef tank! :D

Very exciting. Nice new place of your own, tank move and build. Another suggestion if you do not have it now power if there is a power loss.
