I'm getting ready to remove the carpet in my tank room and install slate.
My plans are to do the room in thirds, mostly due to time constraints, but I also don't want as many VOCs in the tank room at the same time. I'll also be leaving a window open to help vent the gasses, as well as turning the skimmer off.
I'm looking for input as to what I should do with the tank. It's 120g with a 40b sump. Obviously it's not moving unless I break it down, do the floor, and put it back. This presents some unique challenges because, 1. I don't have a stock tank big enough and 2. Slate tile is VERY uneven. We all know about the unique challenges of leveling a tank and I couldn't imagine leveling one on slate. I've debated about just cutting the carpet around the stand and leaving it in place until such time that the tank is removed (likely whenever we move in 234523 years).
So, what do you think I should do?
