Hope this is the right forum....
I'm moving from one apartment to another in the same building, and I need to take my 65 gallon reef along. Anybody have experience with this? Here's what I'm thinking:
- remove all the fish but leave corals in place
- drain water down to the sand
- leave sand and rock in place (rock is cemented together so can't be removed easily)
- try to lift the tank and stand onto a wheeled furniture dolly/cart
- wheel it down hallway, up the elevator, and into the new apartment
- refill with the old water
Think that will work? I have about 60 lbs of rock, 40 of sand, so I'm thinking the drained tank will weigh 200 pounds or so... Can it be done?
