Ya, you and me both
If I didn't have all the buckets, totes, heaters, powerheads, thermometers, spare tanks, battery backup air and vortechs, and double ATOs I would have been in very serious trouble
Imagine draining a 75g display - where do you put 4 years of coral growth and a dozen fish ?

the curse of this hobby can sometimes be a saving grace I guess.

Sometimes when I need to get something out of my basement, I avert my eyes from all of the aquarium equipment (which may or may not have any value) accumulated there.

but the odd time I guess it does come in handy.

Thanks for asking

Lots of progress;
Old sump and tank removed, carpet cleaned, electrical is getting a complete overhaul and is almost finished, did some carpentry, new tank is drilled and overflow installed/tested, new sump finished/tested, plumbing purchased.

Still need to finish electrical panel, move sump and tank in to place, move light hanger, plumb, more carpentry.
Then I can RO test the system, reprogram the controller, and fine tune whatever comes up.

Hoping to have it done in another month or so.
No finished product pics yet.
