Current State:

In process of tearing down all tanks and putting things in tanks in the house.

One tank down and one to go.

Here in a few hours it will begin. First two pics are now and third is what I hope to accomplish.

Don’t judge, this is why it is in a modified mini barn and not the house. All that crap I brought back had no where to go lol.

I also think I may have a problem. Maybe need to go to Excessive Reefers Anonymous for some intervention or something.

I like the proposed layout, only thing that I see missing is a good ol barko lounger to sit and enjoy them.
seating will go somewhere. I have an old, super comfortable chair in there. I think you can see the ugly old orange thing in the pics somewhere. It stays. Wife won’t let it in the house lol.

I am also thinking of keeping my office in there. Remodel inside the house pushed me outside, as wife is very loud on her calls, and I kind of like it.

If I keep it in there, it will go where the 20 long and 10 gallon are shown. The fridge can shift over, as the door closest to it is just a makeshift storage area/closet.

Glad to see the Beer Fridge has a place:p
Guess we all should figure out the 12 step process for Reefers Anonymous!

Well, didn’t get it all done. Yesterday was no time for fish barn. Son had prom and went with wife to take pics of him and his friends. All good though, he is more important that the fish barn lol.

Spent 5 hours today cleaning the acrylic tank, polishing the crap out of it and then moving all of the corals over. Corals are angry lol. Nems are slightly ticked as well. Luckily I pumped all the water from the other tank to the new one, so no changes there. They just mad the got taken out of the water lol

Did the sump as a 40 Rubbermaid tub with tons of rock in it and no skimmer. Skimmer was pointless as I had to dose nutrients. Did a durso drain and then ran the airline for it outside. Ph is stable at 8.3, so all good there.

other 7’ frag is now all macro and the sump has the Xenia rocks in it still. Doser is all setup for po4, no3 and my proprietary blend of minerals the macro needs.

Still about a day or 2 after work to finish it all. But half of it is done and it was the hard half.
