in with the 210 G out with the 120 G

[jrhunter0000]

as many of you know after a long fight with the wife the 120g is going and the 210g is coming in this thread I'm going to take y'all along with the process and transition of both the tear down and the set up of the new aquarium. This is going to be a long haul as I am having to re-support my floors I Will have a back up tank running to house my live stalk and coral. Tearing down this tank as many of you probably know is a heart ache but I know it will pan out to be a dream come true. All support and suggestions will make my build 100 times better so please leave your feed back below no feelings will be hurt.


The tear down starts..... in the mean time I'm waiting for a floor structured engineer to come and brace my floor all my live stalk and coral will be moved. Most of my live rock will be put in rubber made containers at room temperature with power heads for the mean time.

The live rock is being freshwater dipped to make sure it pest free and then will be put in the rubbermaid....

I have about a 3-4 week window my tank will be down. We are 1/3 with removing and dipping the live rock. Gonna grab some dinner and get back at it.

3-4 weeks with your tank down is a good bit of time. Let us know if you need a hand with anything.
