      Fish Tank Move

      I've had my tank for about 3 years now and love it. I'm having to move them due to some mistakes I made at the very beginning that messed up the integrity of my stand. Follow my move as this goes along and feel free to see the details and donate if able too.

      Good news. Got my new stand and a bigger tank. Looks like I'm just gonna do a full upgrade to a new home for them.

      I picked the tank up from a guy off craigslist and got the stand built for it. It's a 110 gallon. I'm super excited for it as well

      Very cool. I would suggest drilling it for an overflow and running a sump underneath. Those eurobraced tanks make it hard to use HOB equipment and an internal overflow box is much easier and better than a HOB, siphoning version. You won't regret going that route. Acrylic is much easier to drill than glass. For mine I just used wood hole saws and my cordless drill then sanded out the holes to remove the melted and burred acrylic.

      O that's the plan. Already got a new sump as well.

      What are your plans on stocking the tank with corals.
