Planning, Hoarding and Researching for the Big One!

I am halfway through. So glad I got Alton's tub and pump. That will help a lot.
It's still just as horrid as I had imagined.
Not looking forward to disassembling the 125 AGAIN in a few weeks. I am thinking of selling it drained but dirty for a $25 discount. lol
Blech this is so not fun.
Taking a lunch break right now.
Then move the 125 to the new spot, put rocks, water and livestock back in. Sounds easy...

Sounds like a ton of work...but it will be worth it when you get the new tank.

done. I still need to figure out what to do with the light. Actually take the mounting hardware down and install it over the old tank. Or just rig something up to hold it over the old tank and leave the actual mounting kit in the ceiling over the new tank's future spot...
I would hate to do this for a living. Am not envying Gabe and the other LFS people. It's on tile and it's my house so a little spill here and there is no biggie. If I had to do this while protecting the livestock AND trying not to make a total mess of the place I don't think I could do it.
My hands are all itchy, achey and puffy.
On the plus side I captured all of the critters that are usually hard to get like the peppermint shrimp, etc.
It's over ... for now

Glad that went well for you. I am dreading moving as well but my plan is to setup a 100 g in the new place and move the livestock to that while I get the new tank going. I bet you cant wait to get the new tank up and running!
