Default Swapping Tanks

Well tonight I got started on doing the swap from the 55 gallon temp tank to my 120gal. So far it has gone without a hitch - touch wood!

Couple of shots before i began.







First thing on the list to do was to remove some water and save it in a couple of buckets. I removed my coral and got it into couple of the buckets.





Then proceded to remove more water, once i had another bucket pretty full of water I place all my rock in it.



Then a little more water in a smaller bucket for the live stock.



they are wondering what was going on. The clowns were lost without their buddy!

Once everything was out of the old tank I moved it over to the coffee table and placed everything back in it. I plan on running it this way for the next couple of days while I get the 120 all set up. I have all the plumbing to run, aquascaping and will be going with a skiff of sand. Also I have a little bit of finishing touches to do on the stand and the flooring.

Here is my coffe table tank



I pace the new tank on the stand and started a little bit of the install.

Here is how things sit as of tonight.







I have lots to do over the next couple of days. I dont want to have my live stock and coral in the tank on the table for any longer than I have too.

One thing I have to say is I have a very understanding Wife. First off I built the stand in the middle of our family room. Then the caos of selling my other tank and setting up the 55 gallon. Now I am back at it again doing this swap. Through out all of this she has not given me any hasstle! - thats Love for ya

I am sure that tomorrow I will have another update.

Till then
