Hey, thanks a lot for the offer Greg.. I really appreciate that.

My Mom drives a minivan though, so we'll be good to go if we use that this time around lol

Again, thanks for your offer. Really appreciate it.

It didn't fit? Not even in the back seat or passenger seat? whenever i have to put stuff on the seats, i just find a way to wrap a seatbelt around it and buckle it up. I must look idiotic to other motorists.

Last year we jammed a 75gallon in a volvo... Now that was a tight fit.

If you want some buckets, I have three or four of the big salt ones.

No, the tank is too wide to fit through the doors. We tried haha.

Ed, I may take you up on that offer If not, I'll just buy a few buckets when I'm at Rona or Home Depot. Thanks !

Howdy,

Well.. a bit of change in plans. My dad figures we should leave a new stand alone for now... for what reason, I dunno. But whatever.. I'm cool with that. Instead he thinks we should just simply add to the existing stand, and brace the bottoms. It may look a tad ghettoish, but I don't care lol. This way, we can do this as early as tomorrow, or today.. and then I can start the switch over.

Now.. I want to do this without problems, so.. for all of you who have done tank switchovers, can you guide me through a good step-by-step procedure?

I am going to be buying a couple rubber maid containers for corals and one for the fish. I will aerate the both of them. (note to self: buy air tubing ) I will first start off by making 2 or 3 buckets of saltwater. I'll be buying more buckets.. I have a list of what I need at the top of the page.

So, I will need to switch it all over in the matter of the day, no longer. So, I was thinking, take all the corals out, place them in a rubber maid, then.. take the rock out in the two buckets I currently have. Clean the rocks well, and place them into a rubber maid. Take the fish out once all rocks are out, place in rubbermaid.

From there on in, it's pretty easy eh... just take the sand out (I am going BB, if I change my mind, I can add sand later) and presto, I have an empty 20g tank.

I guess it will just be a matter of filling the new tank up after that, and starting to re-stock.

Sorry, I guess it was easier just typing it out as is. But , it's all pretty mumbo jumobo ramble, so feel free to add to it or make any corrections.

Hmm, oh yeah.. I'll take a picture of the tank today as well.
