Starting a new tank from old tank stock

[Petroinmd]

So I’ve removed my old 120 gallon long tank... well movers removed it.

They moved my new purchase 100g CDA tank with 80/20 stand.

Here are a pic or 2 of the old and new.

 

Then this weekend, I plumbed it to my original sump.  Trying out red pipes.

My wonderful friend Lynne helped me figure it out.

 

The red pipes were on clearance in 24” lengths.  I ended up using all of the 1” and have 3 sections 2” left over.

 

I’ll post later when I put the old tank inhabitants back in.

Nice. Also I like your log walls.

Thanks.  Wish I could take credit for those walls.  

I grew up in this house.  My parents installed those pine logs walls. 

My brother slaved over stripping the bark.

Luckily I was younger and got away without having to anything.

Well.... leak check turned up several issues.

 

Very glad it was only tap water and my fish and corals are still safe in their temporary home.

 

Disassembled the overflow and a union that was leaking.

 

Turns out I wasn’t tracking my gaskets very well and had them either completely missing or in the wrong location.

 

So.... trying again tomorrow.  Wish me luck

Well I lost most of my fish and shrimp in the move.
I am grateful that the leopard wrasse and yellow assessor survived.

What are the dimensions of that tank?

Sorry to hear you lost so many fish in the move.

How much did the movers cost you? I have a large custom tank being delivered in the early spring and am figuring out how I’m going to get it into my house. Will either be movers or renting the equipment to do it with a few friends.

Nice tank. Where did you get it? How much was it?
