This kind of question makes me question my own intelligence, but here we go. I have a 110 reef tank that I am considering moving. It's on a standard cabinet-type stand right now.
Option 1 is to move it about 1 foot forward of where it is now. Why would I do that? I'm framing-in a wall in front of the tank so that it's enclosed and I have a integral room behind the tank for sumps/pumps/and stuff - basically making a corner of my living room a "fish room." I really want to get a bigger, drilled tank, but I don't know if that's going to happen. So I need to support it while I place it on it's new stand about 1-2 feet in front of where it sits. I'd rather not tear the whole darn thing apart- maybe drain some water (save it) somehow support it while I move the old stand out and then slide it forward?
Option 2: Do buy a new tank, and keep this one set-up exclusively as a refuge for my maiting-pair of gold stripe maroons - they are prolific. Basically I would make a double-display wall. Still I have the problem of moving this thing while not tearing it completely down. I tried once to harvest and "raise" the baby fish - got them to 27 days and they all died? It was fun and I'd like to try again. So I don't really want to destroy/disrupt their space.
I've run out of ideas - maybe this just won't work. Any brilliant ideas??? Thanks\
