Todd's 125 to 180 transfer has the date set...

Well, the time is here!

I'm planning the main part of this project on the 21st of JUne.
I'll be setting up things on the 20th;
and I'll have the 22nd to revise things, etc.

This will be big! Well, maybe not so big, but a major operation anyways.
My current 125 Reef:

Will be transferring to my 180:

On this DIY stand:


This 180 will be going where my 125 is now in my Family Room.

The current 125 will be going downstairs in the basement as my sump.

This will require at least 4 people for this manual labor parts of the move.

I'd like to have people over, come and go thru out the day so that on the 21st of June 2014, I can get all the major moving, plumbing, etc done on this day, with the 22nd used as clean up, tweaking, etc.

I'll do my best at having some sancks, some food/lunch, and even a bit of beer on hand.

If anyone has any extra brute type larger c ontainers, that would be great too!

If you could and are interested, please reply here if you can make it by on Saturday, June 21st for a while.
Even if you've never met me or seen my system, you are certainly still welcome.
I'm sure I"ll have a few giveaways, too to those that help are in need or something.

 

Awesome!
Nice sturdy looking stand too.
Wisconsin is a bit of a drive from PA or i'd offer some help, but the beer is tempting LOL.Tank transfers are a huge job,i did 4 so far and i think maybe one more in the distant future (if i can get the wife to agree we need a bigger tank LOL)
Your tank looks amazing ,and now its really gonna look great with that added 6 inches of depth/width..

 

if you were closer ide be over to help ya todd. good luck with the transfer!

 

Congrats todd! Wish I was closer to help out. If a frag of your awesome blue mille happens to come off you can send it my way.

 

yay! so glad to hear you've set a date Todd! New tank will be awesome I'm sure!

 

Thanks everyone! I'm getting pretty excited/anxious too!

Many of the locals have posted on my local forum board about helping out, I'm fairly confident I'll have enough help.

It's really based on my pre-planning and making my concepts/ideas for it become some sort of reality.
Hopefully it will go well with few, if any snags.

 

This will probably be the last FTS of my current 125g MIxed Reef

 

Good luck Todd!!!!

 

Thank you Vinny, a little good vibes, patience and planning and it should go OK.

 

I'm following on this one. The day is almost finally here! Good luck and this should be quite the setup once it is complete!
