Tank Swap / 155 gl

[belzebuth]

Thank Ian,
Will be looking up the "herbie"

Yes, I have to admit... I am pretty excited about redoing the aquascape on the tank. I will finally have the tank the way I want it

We purchased the Tank used a few years back and didn't care much for the stand.. it's just not working well with the 60 gallons sump.

Hubby has agreed to build a new stand... so I am pretty happy.

I second using a large tote vs a garbage can.. Or see if anyone has an old tank you can use for a while. Set the tote or tank up with rock a heater and flow and everything should be just fine.

Thanks... I have a couple of x-large rubbermaid tote. I might use those instead.

will definitely go with the Herbie overflow, seems pretty simple.

Found this info on the web

Tank has arrived in one piece... this beast is heavy
Not sure about the plumbing yet but making progress on the stand

The slow drip on the tank has almost stopped....salt must have worked it's magic for now

How's the progress on the tank?

Tank swap went well... no casualties. Going trough a bout of diatom bloom right now... Not sure why since the live rock is all from my previous 6 years old set up but we did use all new sand so maybe that's what causing this.

I am still getting air bubbles back in the display tank.. suspecting a small hole in in my return line which will probably have to be redone since i am thinking to upgrade my return pump. I don't think I am getting enough turn over flow from the current one + i want a 1 inch return instead of 3/4.

My current pump is fairly old and is staring to acting up

Also got a any new kitten keeping me pretty busy

Do you have a thread about your tank at all? That looks like a nice angel in the background. Good to see you like a nice big glass full, when you finish your wine maybe you can start a journal
