Heres the 65G move, tanks been up 9 days since the move:
First thing was to make a bunch of water throughout the week, had about 12 home depot buckets ready at the new spot. After getting the u-haul, get buckets laid out and plenty of towels.
I start with sump, powerheads, skimmer, heater, doser all taken out and cleaned if needed.
Empty
next siphon out some clean water from the tank to fill livestock buckets / live rock bucket and rinse & scrub bucket.
as the sump drains via return pump I take out nem rocks & live rock, shaking in a bucket to clean em out. i scrubbed some rocks or tossed anything too algae covered.
empty stand! once everythings out i clean/ rinse out the sump tank
draining the main display
right side is easy to move, its 2x large rocks and a hanful of small rocks, also helped i sold some GSP and large toadstool before the move
Once the rock is out i scoop the fish with a few inches of water left. then scape the glass and siphon out the gunk
I then wiped down the tank and Bubble wrapped the tank. Loaded up the U-Haul, Hood then tank with stand at back all on the right side. Livestock went on lefts side of u-haul. Then headed to the new spot
Rigged Up
Sump Up
I kept the right side of the scape the same, left side i kinda just threw it together for now. Heres the night of the move, looking pretty good!
