I thought about doing that but now I think I may put in a seperate 20-30 gal fuge beside it, because my return pump is in that side a I think it will suck out too much of my sand and stuff in there.

Well I didn't get to move anything tonight because I had to get a few more things from Sal from SWC,and it was too late to try and move anything so i we keep you posted.

O.K. I went ahead and moved 1 of my 75gal tanks late last night and here is what I got done,the water is still a little cloudy but it should clear up soon.
All my param's are perfect so I'm not worried about it.

putting a MH ballast on top of a sump is like licking a cobra in the face, even if it never falls in the moisture will ruin it in short order. just my 2 cents

Yea I know,I just havn't had time to build a shelf to put them on.

honestly dont even put them near the sump.

ive seen many balasts rust through being close to sumps like that and been shocked many times because of it. find somewhere else to put them, or totaly enclose them in a cabinet if you must.

I finally got a chance to build a shelf and move my ballasts away from the sump.

I finally got a chance to move the rest of my LR,sand and livestock yesterday,I still have to trim out around the front of the tank but you can still see what it will look like.I ended up with a 6" sandbed with around 300 plus #'s of LR.
