Busy weekend we have started ripping up the carpet to put the new floor down but first we had to move the 29 gal and the 55 gal out of the way - here are some pictures:
all equip out ready to move rock
rock out taking out water
one can with rocks, the other with water for the fish
tank to be slid onto cart
tank ready to be put on stand in new location
So the tank is set back up, it took about an hour to do the move, all of the fish are great and very little stress. One causualty when I was trying to find a fitting to fix the one that broke on the gamma UV, it fell on floor and broke the blub and glass sleve so I'm out a UV on this tank
Rest of the day will be spend putting down new floor and moving the stand into place - I'll post photos later of the progress

We purchased the lift cart at harbor freight for $200 and it is rated at 1000 lbs and has been a great purchase - it is sometimes difficult with two people to get things moved around but this is a back saver and paid for itself already

The cart lifts up to about 35" and goes down to about 10" so it has been perfect, it has a hydrolic lift

Yes Varga my partner and I and the lift cart - it was much cheaper the the chiropractic appointments that would have followed

So today will be exciting - The floor will be ready for the tank and stand to be moved into place. Jack is coming over later to move the tank onto the stand and then start plumbing the tank so I'm sure I'll have good pictures of his royal purpleness in all of it's glory

Is it up and running yet?
It's not up and running yet, but the tank and stand are in place. We did not get all of the right plumbing parts so that is being put off until Tuesday but I'll post the tank being moved into place

Moving Day - very exciting here are pictures of the new tank being moved into place
stand ready and waiting
Tank on 2 furniture dollies - moving very slow
Tank up on the stand - we used the lift cart to get tank level with stand then transfer over to stand
This took longer today then planned - as all things do so we still need to put down the laminent flooring in the rest of the room - Jack is coming over Tues to plumb and should have fish in tank by weekend (maybe)
Jack making me a list of all the plumbing I forgot to pick up

So today while I was out working Jack came over and started the plumbing of the tank, my partner did not take pictures so Jack was saved from the embaresment of the purple hands - however once again I did not have all the parts so he will have to come back and finish the job tomorrow or thursday then I'll post pictures
