Default The Move

So last night (at about 8pm) I started the move. Moved the tank from the computer room, into the living room where the new stand was waiting. (click on any pictures to see bigger versions)


Before:



After:



I was up until the wee hours of the morning (230am). I removed everything from the tank, including the sand. I wanted to properly put the egg crate I had, right at the bottom, and the only way, was to remove all the sand. Also I wanted to add another 15lbs of sand, so I slightly mixed it with the sand that was in the tank, which left a bit of a sand storm after I moved the tank.



I ended up leaving the fish/inverts in a bucket overnight (with a PH, heater, airstone). Few reasons, 1), the tank was pretty cloudy. 2) I didn't have enough containers for the water, so I had to make some new water overnight.



Also, couldn't have mom be mad while I was working all night, and most of today, so I went to JL to pick up a purple firefish. OMG, one of my favs. I've been waiting for one to come in for a while, and the color on this guy is AMAZING (recon's why the price is more than the red ones!). He spent most of the day in the back on the tank, but when I came home tonight after dinner he was out and about, so he's hopefully adjusted well.



Tank is still kinda cloudy, but hopefully it should clear up over night. Haven't setup the sump yet, thats next on the list now that the tank has been moved. More pictures located here.
