190 Tank move
 

I have purchased a whole setup (See my sig)


o Thurs Tank moved (paid some movers to do it GREAT Job)
o Friday Started to re-plumb everything
Returns all done, right down to the return pump

Next will be the drain lines under the stand into the sump, then after that doing a water test to ensure it all is sound

Can not wait til this is up and running it has been a long time since I had a SW tank looking forward to it

it is coming along

looking good ,
one thought crossed my mind .

Can you remove your sump with your tank pushed back in that hole ?

If not, then maybe you will want to make that center brace removable. Weird things seem to happen to sumps , and being able to remove, repair or replace without draining your tank and sliding it out of that position would be great.

disregard above if you can get your sump out lol,

keep the updates coming

Nice start. What do you have planned for equipment? That's the important stuff. :D

In my more than 20 years of reef keeping I've yet to need to remove a sump, but I always design it so the sump can be removed. I'm pretty sure if I ever designed it so I couldn't remove the sump Murphy's Law would move in very quickly. :lol:
