Moving my 46 gal bowfront..... Picture heavy!!

[gabor129]

Hello all!

A few months back I had a leak in my sump, which caused the aquarium stand to expand and started to crush my sump. So I decided that it is time to make a new stand and put a bigger sump on my tank! Without further due here are the pictures!

The tank before the move with the new Razor LED lights!


The original sump



The original stand



Empty sump



Half way there



The holding tubs for the Live rock and corals




Just a bit more



Here we go....


The new sump



The tank filled back up! The ATO is still not hooked up!!! LOL



With lights on! I also installed a ground probe and a ground receptacle!



And the next day!!!!



A close up



The corals are still not very happy, and the fish are stressed a bit, but all in all it was a good move! The only thing got damaged is a 2" piece broke off mt green acro. So far everything is running great, however I have noticed a lot more evap from the new sump! Next weekend the cover for the sump and tank!!! Stayed tuned for updates!

Hey Gabe great before and after shots. But if you get a leak you have to what you have to do. Glad this went well. And tank looks great too.

Thanks guys!

Glen, I was lucky enough to catch it early! I had to change the sump, hence the 10 gal. super ugly sump...... LOL It only supposed to be temporary, 6 months later.... See Les I`m not lazy at all! LOL

Also just if anyone wondering the lights are only running at 35% capacity when the picture was taken! Right now it is at 45 %! I increase 10 % per week, to get the corals acclimated to the brighter light!

How do you like the Razor so far?

[gabor129]

I love the Razor! Still trying to find the right setting for my liking, but the over all light is far superior to anything I saw so far! It is a great learning curve to adjust to all corals and fish! I do expect to loose some, but at the end I will be able to keep a much wider wariety of corals!
