I left you a couple of messages on your cell -- let me know when and where and I will try to work around it and give you a hand.
I also have a lot of room in the back of my truck if anything else needs to be moved over -- although I won't be responsible for any missing coral pieces during transport =)

Im going tonight to start on the corals and rock. We will start on the Tank and stand Saturday morning at 9:00 am, hoping to have it out by noon and then going back together after that.
.Everything got moved over a 4 day period. I am sure somebody got a picture, but I never saw any picture taking. It was a heavy, cumbersome tank. There was enough people to safely move it all, but there was so much plumbing and wiring and all that it took a while to get it all undone and on the truck/trailer and then off and set up. Greg has a lot of work still ahead of him.

Thank you all very much for the help. It has been a monumental task, moving that thing.
I still have a lot of work to do, to convert it from rear access to front access. I got it all plumbed last night then realized that all the plumbing that was in the back of the stand was now in the front and blocking access to the sump.

If I was doing it, I would make it less complicated. I am sure you could do it with less than 1/2 the pipe that you have now. Maybe do away with the cathedral organ pipe return and valve system, and maybe use spa hose insted of PVC for some of it so you can bend it out of the way. Maybe have both pumps off to the North side, and plumbed in the North side sump end. You could still leave the sump where it is, just run a pipe around to the pump. In other words, make it less crowded, and run in through the back or ends.

Steve, KISS ......simple is key!
I have it figured out how to do the closed loop with only 1 pipe running across the back of the tank, so that removes 2 pipes in the stand. I will only have to buy a few parts.
