dnov99's 260 Gal eye candy thread...

[dnov99]

I know Don its out of control, I am just beside myself. This time will be much easier as the last tank was going to bust at any moment so we had to break it down ASAP and move everything to the basement. This time the tank has a few years before it will fail, so the new tank is being built now and should be here in 4 weeks. I will put any coral that is not encrusted in the basement and the remaining rock and fish will be placed into two 125 gal rubbermaids with heat and powerheads that day. We empty the tank do the rockwork and refill it all with the same water and add the fish. Its not nearly as bead as what we went thru 2 years ago.

Jon, I wouldnt put it past Will to close for a party at my house!!

Well some good news to report, the new tank is way ahead of schedule and should be done in a week. These guys are top-notch, I cannot wait to get this done.

 

[Baxreefs]

COOL!
That's great news!

At least your doing it in one day. Unlike me. It took me close to a month just to do the transfer and I'm still not done. Good Luck with everything.

Thanks Rich, I would only do it in one day, there is just too much stuff to move back and forth.

New tank is done and will be here next week.

Wait a second........ There's something wrong with that tank. I don't see a line running down the tank like the one you have at your house.



lol. Just kidding. Looking good Darren

 

[dnov99]

Laughing at everybody's comments! I am glad that I can still laugh about this unreal situation. Just want to get it done at this point.

I have been to busy I didn't even see this. Glad your getting it fixed for good.

 

[dnov99]

Well we finally switched out tanks yesterday, much to my relief!! Many thanks to Ethan and Will from AO and Stan(Smcooler) and everybody else who helped. Mike (MNAT) did an amazing job of drinking beers and eating our food!! Everything went as smooth as it possibly could have.

Looks good Darren... Glad to hear the transition went smoothly...

 

[howze01]

Hmmmm. Bare bottom huh? Any particular reason why?

I wish I would have known yesterday was the day, I would have been glad to join Mike.

 

[mnat]

Tough job but somebody had to do it. BTW I will ignore the calls when you need someone to grab something off the bottom of the tank.

I'm there to help! If Mike can reach I'm sure I can too. As long as it's keep what you grab.
