Great news, only the 20l fw tank had to be moved. They cut around the biocube which was ky big concern. Thank you so much for the offers. Maastards rock!

Do you know what went wrong? Was it the solenoid, or something else.?

I have no idea. It pours water out instead of making icecubes

Yes, they left one square of carpet and padding where the bc is. They are bringing fans tomorrow.

Thank you. The tank situation work out nicely. As Stephen said, fw was a cake to drain. No meticulous rockscape and attached coral to care for. Having my entire apt. Quickly shoved into one half and not being able to put it all back for a couple days is unsettling though.


Glad all is well. :)

Yes, all is wet... i mean... well
