swapping tanks need a large container near Huntsville

[buzzbait00]

Hey Guys!
I'll be swapping my 75 oceanic tank and stand with a drilled 75 with a lot more room for a sump in the stand.It won't be for a week or so.I'm refinishing the stand.I'm useing a 20 long for a sump and the 75 has four holes in the back.I've got a mag 12 that I was thinking about useing a " T" on it to run to both returns.I am new to the pulming,sump stuff so any advice would be apreciated.Does anybody in the Huntsville area have a large(55,75,90)container I could borrow to put all my rock and water in wile I switch tanks?

Thanks,
Buzz!


P.S.The oceanic tank and stand with canopy will be up for sell soon.Pic's are in gallery.Lookin for around $150

Four holes in the back? Any overflow box in a corner or on the back glasswall?

I may be wrong, but a 55 gallon or a larger container may be hard to come by. You can use two or three Rubbermaid containers like 31 or 37 capacity storage containers. Their shallow shape makes it easier to put rocks and corals in them. Your tank does not hold 75 gallon of water to start with since it holds sand and rocks in it, too.

Yea,I'll probaly get some rubbermaids from wal-mart.I've seen some big ones used for cattle feed/water at the co-op but their a little high thought some body might have one.Save me a little.I wanted a oversized one for room to sort out rock.I got the tank from im buford.It does not use a overflow box.It has 2 drains and 2 returns at the top of the back glass.Hard-Rock said he was going to come over and help me set it up,Thanks man!

I got the containers and all .U need to tell me when we going to do this .I was thinking we could put in a linear overflow in that tank since it is already drilled and and the bulkheads are in place and maybe a Squid on the returns .
