tank swap over the weekend

[harley3ky]

After a year with a 110g 48x18x20 tank, I purchased a much more manageable 120g 48x24x24. Well this past weekend I did the tank swap and it took all weekend. I never thought it would take that long to get the new one up and running. Only problem is one small drip coming from the plumbing going into the sump. Should be an easy fix. just a few little things left. Feel free to offer your input.

Right now I have the 2 clowns you see in the pic, a Lunare Wrasse that is hiding and I have a snowflake eel & Coral Beauty in QT. I want a BiColor Angel, Sleeper Golden head Goby and not sure what else.

Looks great!

I'm beginning to question the integrity of my stand holding a 120. I'm a dreading what you accomplished in one weekend.

Thank you. Not all of it but probably about 60%. I had planned on about 75% but screwed up and came up short so I had to use the water I had made for the QT water change.

Thanks TatorTaco. I foolishly thought I was gonna do it all in one day. This stand is the Marineland stand and looking at it, I would not have felt comfortable with it. The rep was there the day I bought it and after talking with him I am sure that it is plenty strong. I bought plans to build one that was pretty nice but just the materials was as much as this stand and since I am no woodworker, I changed my mind.
