Bye-bye sw fish room, Hello 220g reef tank :)

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Well, my wife & I decided to convert my sw fish room back into our spare bedroom for 2 Korean homestay students who are coming in Dec.
The bad news is that I have to tear down & transfer out 300g of sw tanks, sumps & refugiums.
Bye, bye smaller reef tanks.

Hello new 220 gallon reef tank with 72 gallon sump

Big thanks goes out to Chris, Rippin, Fkshiu, yvr, and Fishbreath for helping move the tank & equipment over. Also to DeepRed for selling me the system for a great price. And especially to my friend TomR who spent Saturday here helping me to plumb in my tank.

Hi Anthony

It looks great and it is all still standing. Just add water, salt, rock (BB), corals and fish and you will never give another thought to the old fish room again.
Your more than welcome for the help. Anyone who would trust an accountant to do there plumbing can't be all wrong.

Anthony where are you putting the new tank? It looks like it is going to be an amazing system when you get all you livestock transfered.
I just wish I could recriut that many people to give me a hand when I set up my 300g cube.
I know someone that will be coming down to stay with your in-laws that has lots of practice cleaning out old tanks when you get the transfer done and would "love" to give you a hand!

Tom,

Thanks again for helping with the plumbing-brainstorm. The plumbing is so clean & out-of-the-way this time, my sump will be much easier to access. Those steel L brackets really strengthened the stand, that's for sure.

Ruth,

The new tank will go where our old hutch used to be for hold fancy plates & glasses. Unfortunately, my parents want us to keep this "family heirloom" (go figure ) so that will have to go into the spare room "formerly known as Anthony's marine fishroom." So the big tank will be in the dining room area, on the other side of the kitchen wall. I'm debating whether to set up the 90g split cube tank/seahorse refugium again in the living room or just a 20" cube as the new seahorse refugium.

Yet another great start to a great "Canreef Tank".

Rupert and I were looking at the pictures last night wondering where on earth you were going to fit another large tank in the main living area . Now I know
