To Move Or Not To Move!

Re-floor all of it with fish tank.

Might be worth investing in another small setup to cycle and put your Livestock in and just transferring all your Livestock over to the newly cycled tank then when your floor is done. Recycling that tank and then transferring everything over again.

It might take you a lot longer but this way you shouldn't lose a thing! Plus now might be the time to upgrade

I don't think not finishing your entire floor would be a good option.

Option 2
I've moved a 120 twice and it sucks
But water may or may not warp your flooring making it difficult to do after.....

I've considered this as well for the floor my tank is on. I've decided on option2 for my tank. If you go to sell your house you don't really want a section of floor that has been destroyed by your fish tank. You'd either have to explain it to the new owners or leave the fish tank up so that when they move in there's a nasty surprise waiting for them.

If your main room gets a lot of sunlight and there's a chance that the new flooring will get significantly faded so that when you remove the tank and finally replace the floor you end up with two very different looking sections of floor I'd rethink this but if your tankroom is like mine with no direct sunlight this is what makes sense to me.

Does tile fade? I never really thought of it. It doesn't get alot of sun but it does get some.

In general tile doesn't fade, probably more fade resistant than other types of flooring. However lower quality died or glazed tiles could fade slightly over time.

In terms of whether to move the tank or not I'll just say a house is an investment while a tank is a hobby. Don't let a hobby affect your investments.
