So have you ever asked your self Gee I wounder how long it takes to tare down a 265 Gallon reef tank. Well I can tell you it takes 14 hours and 16 min. started at 5:30 last night and just finnished at 7:16 this morning now I have to stay awake just a little longer till all my help shows up to help with the tank swap.

WOW. I going in a few hrs to start tearing down our new 150g. it's a 5 hr drive though. Start tomorrow moring, tear down, then drive home with it all, then get the livestock in the QT tank, rock in buckets with powerheads etc.

Good luck sounds like fun. We are replacing our 265 with a 300 so at least nothing is leaving it was just a BIG job

Mixed reef. We just finished putting it in place had a bunch of guys show up to help as it had to go up the back stairs and in the sliding glass door.
