The why, oh why, 38 stair, 290 gal build revised

[reefwithareefer]

Another lesson learned the hard way...





When I first set up the sump room, I decided to use the DT bowfront stand to set the tanks on top off. I never gave it a second thought, that I may need it later on..I set one tank, half on and half off, as that is how everything fit.

So of course, i upgraded to a larger tank and in order to sell the bowfront and stand, I needed to get it out of the sump room. This required moving the sump/refugium tanks etc. A huge process...ugh!

Anyways to make a long story short, I started the move last weekend. Of course my lazy and cocky attitude came out when deciding to not empty the tank that was half on the black bowfront stand. I convinced myself that I could "wiggle" the stand from under the tank with no issues...

This is what happens when I get lazy and cocky


That big hole is where the little hole once housed my bulkhead...
