Suggestions for moving tank

[hashbrown1408]

Hi all,

So I DIYed my own 100g tank and also the stand. Soon after setup I realized I made the stand too short for my skimmer, however have been too lazy until now to fix this. Partially because now I’m running into phosphate issues. Albeit the tank is doing pretty successfully and been running for 9months.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to temporarily move/breakdown the tank so I can access the stand do increase the height?

Use a large stock tank sold at tractor supply you can put you heater and wavemaker in there that way you don't have to rush

When I was upgrading my tank, I had a couple of 14 gallon Rubbermaids and put all my live stock and live rock in there for several days. Alternatively you can also by a stock tank like what Xxflouderxx said. You can then drain the water into the rubbermaid (or stock tank) and hopefully be able to move the empty tank away for a bit till you make adjustments to the stand.

I did something similar when I changed out my 75g for a 90. Drained the tank into one brute, 2x 10g and 1x 20g long. Put a heater and a powerhead in each and there they stayed x3 days. I fed VERY minimally. After the 90 was up and ready, I just transferred all the livestock back. No casualties (except for some of the CUC. That was unavoidable).
