| Do I look as lost as I am   | Re: moving an rsm 3 inches I don't have a plan but BE CAREFUL! All of our tanks behave VERY differently with water in them and "Sloshing" causes stress on the tank in places and ways that may or may NOT have been designed into it.

It's ALL gotta go!! Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%. Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

| RS Sponsor  | Re: moving an rsm 3 inches mrfishy, I just moved a 50 gallon three feet this way. Lift one end gently ENOUGH SO YOU CAN SLIDE IT!! I have done this about three times. And yes, BE CAREFUL. If you have to slid eit over the grout lines in the tile, good luck! That I have NEVER done and it may not be possible! Let us know how it goes!

| NaClH2O Addicted   | Re: moving an rsm 3 inches Good luck. Is it that tight on one side that the Vortech won't fit? Not possible, or just not preferable on the opposite side? I think the full tank weighs about 400 lbs. without the cabinet weight. Be careful is correct! Can you take out half or 2/3 of the water to make it easier, then slowly add it back in after the move?

| Manta Ray  | Re: moving an rsm 3 inches look into these pads for it, i think they are called little movers (not sure) they have foam on the top, and smoth on the bottom, great for moving things slowly. otherwise have a friend lift one end and put a towel or 2 under the whole thing, and pull the trowels slowly.
