Title: Moving Tanks
Post by: b125killer on July 13, 2014, 09:16:05 PM
I started to move tanks around today. I only got the discus tank moved. There a little harder to move when there half full. The funniest part was watching my oldest son crawl through the stand to get to the other side of the tank. Then when we got it close to where it's new home was he had a smaller spot to squeeze out of. Next tank is the older 55. I only have to move that one a foot to the left. It's still going to be a chore. Once that's done I can set up the 72 gallon for the discus.  I also got the fluval 405 cleaned and disinfected. I made a spay bar for it out of 1/2 pex tube. I got it running on the discus tank. It does a great job at keeping poo off the bottom. Once the 72 is running I'll move everything to there new home. I hope everything fits like I want it to.

Measure twice (or more), move once!

I got everything moved. I made a video to show the fish room. I think it will stay this way for a while.

Thanks guys, yeah that's the basement. That's alot of weight to put up stairs. It was scary when I had the 72 gallon up stairs. I couldn't imagine the 155 up there. 
The loaches love there new tank. They have more than enough room to dash back and forth. And they can reach there full potential in there.
