Working on plumbing to where the new garage will be, but nothing big rn. So much is going on that this new project is going to move pretty slowly.

HAH! Hmmm.... How big of a harem can it hold? That would look EPIC

To conclude this crazy rollercoaster of a thread: “Our” vision started with a random picture I saw on the internet, and my fiancée at the time (now wife) supported me through all of the highs, lows, victories, disasters, leaks, spawning events, floods, and VERY questionable financial decisions...

No worries for those that missed the move, I was on a very unique timetable with: demolition of the old shed/driveway + forklift availability + volunteer availability. Mother Nature was miffed I didn't ask for her permission, so we had to do it all in the rain! Small break in the rain, but...

Tomorrow is the day! (At the mercy of fork lift rental schedule) @Mdub4207 and @SynDen DMd

I will post on other channels, but depending on weather, moving the big boy this week. Possibly Wednesday 5/20 or Thurs 5/21 after work. Stay tuned those that can make it!

I got lucky with a filefish once! Some swear by the Caribbean peppermint shrimp. Or like Syn said, watch the FB groups a few breeders will pop up from time to time.

I have always liked the floating reef look! Are you trying to fuse it to the exisitng side/back of the tank or making your own acrylic brace? Weld-On #3 or #4 is what I see the most: https://forums.reefcentral.com/threads/weld-on-3-or-4.657707/

Appreciate the offers, gents, I will definitely take you up on it when the time comes.

I rented a forklift to get the beast off of the (borrowed) trailer, and will rent one again for install, but will need to start preparing the beer fund for help moving this the final 3 feet!

Nothing more official than unplugging the Neptune: Drained of life and water :crying: The incoming beast:

oh nooo, I didnt think about that... Yeah, this sadly wasn't a joke... drained it today, sold the fish since I cannot house them safely during the rebuild. Also, on top of rebuilding Baby girl due in the middle of Sept. So my thought process is to get as far into this project before the...

Some pics on the way out... Ripping out the faux wall Shout out to one of my favorites. Clarence... when I bought him his "core" was gumball sized with spines close to baseball size. Now he is just shy of 12" with spines! I will have to do a separate post for Frank-The-Tank (Zebra Turbo...

I appreciate the offer, but I am going scorched earth on this one. Anything alive is getting sold or rehomed.

I raised the salinity for the last 9 months. This helped kill the remaining nems, but I only have 1 coral that made it through this (Leptastrea of all things...). I lowered back to normal to help move the fish. I have to rehome all the live stock, not ideal but I cant break down this tank...
