    I moved my tank yesterday, to make room for the new tank, and since then, all 5 fish are hanging around in the lower right corner of the old tank... Any ideas why? -Puzzled

    Have you tested params to see if anything got stirred up?

    Oh the irony , sorry couldn't help myself :)
    Probably just stressed from the move, are your params good? Did you stir things up?

    How ever did you move that tank? I've always heard moving large tanks with water in them leads to disaster. Yours looks fine. How did you move it?

    Moving it was simple. I just used my scissor jack from my truck, with some 2x4's. Put it in between the wall and the tank, and little by little, jacked it over, it took about 1 hour.
    Oh P.S. Don't try to use a hydraulic jack, they only work to jack "up" not over. (Learned the hard way)

    Yeah, hydraulics work by moving weight with pressure, but it can't build the pressure without the weight. Moving sideways, the floor is still holding the weight.
