    Well Im done, its sittin in the driveway in the back of the truck now. I learned a few things about in the tear down... It has a APC battery backup good for about 16hrs running the return pump. The wetdry which I thought was crap turns out to be a life reef systems filtration system complete with EVERYTHING!!! Heres a link to it... LF2-150.. Also the tank is a 135g, not a 125g like I was told.

    i used a dolly on my 125, when you stand the tank on end, put a blanket under the tank, over the bottom, then slide dolly underneath. I then put a ratcheting tie down around the tank and dolly around the top of the dolly. Tighten it up and its going nowhere.

    I used a 48" furniture dolly, the kind thats flat with 4 wheels. All we had to do was empty the tank, and lower it on the dolly and roll it out to the elevator, it fit perfectly in there.

    I havent had a display tank in well over a year. Been to busy keeping up with my grow out/stock tanks. I took a new job thats basically causing me to get away from selling corals. I took down my site and not dealing with the general public anymore. If I do, its trading only. Most of what I have left is going in the new tank.

    I have a few more things I need to do and a few more parts to gather before setting this up. I already have my lights (3x24" sunpod pro hqi 250w MH's and 4x54w T5HO retro's). I still have to gather the acrylic rods to build my rock pillars too. I have roughly 400lbs of what use to be premo fiji liverock. I have a few nice sized show piece rocks and several 6" sized pieces for the pillars. I plan on having an island type rock outcropping in the center flanked on both sides with multiple pillars. Roughly using 200lbs of rock or something like that. I still need to get new powerheads and a new heater.
