Either you're plumbing the new tank or you clogged the toilet...
Either way, the plumber doesn't look very happy
Gonna work on plumbing today. I’ve been awake now since 2:30. So since I’m the plumber who’s been up for to long - yes I’m cranky

Just think of the couple thousand new corals you can fit in there once you're done!!
You know … @F i s h y made a solid point to me the other day…..for my current hoard of corals to grow out I would need another tank or two….definitely at minimum a larger tank in addition to the two o currently have…..

I’m going to set up the frag tank too just so I can give things space and I may sell or trade away some of my current collection

Or figure out what would do well in the 75g nem tank

Maybe I could get a cube tank and make it just a Goni tank…….that would open lots of space up

I started in March with a Biocube 16 gallon AIO. I found myself already wanting a bigger tank. I was looking at a Fiji 32. I didn’t want to spend that much. Than I got on Facebook at the beginning of last week and found this tank, 70 gallon flat back hex mad out of acrylic. Priced at 400! Including a 20 gal long sump and all the fixings! I couldn’t pass it up. So now begins the journey of cleaning it, adding a internal overflow (eshopps eclipse medium), building a new stand base, and getting it all in the tank! The tank also came with the corals the guy had and a mini maxi nem. Currently all the coral is sitting in a 10 gallon tank with heat and flow. Today I plan on building the stand. And getting the tank up and running. I already installed the eshopps over flow. I still need to remove some coraline algae that’s stuck to the acrylic. Soak all power heads and get them clean! Along with the pump. I’ll have to replumb the over flow.

here are a few pics. The first one are from the guy I bought it from and then the tank at my place.

Interesting fact the top is sealed on.
Whoah large project, plenty of ‘nooks and crannies’ to keep an eye an eye on though, I suppose. Substrate gets overlooked often, it is clearly an area that could provide flexibility in smaller tanks. In tanks your size; it could be good to build a floor cavern. If that makes sense? Do you have a webcam or would you have one or know of any hobbies / shops that do this?
