I'm moving at the end of the month from one apartment to another, and the new place has no restriction on what size tank I can have. As much as I'd love to get a 230 or something huge and long, it's just not in the budget at this time, so a 70 is going to have to do.
What I'm working on is:
- buying a sump/skimmer combo. Based off the Reef Octopus skimmers, an all acrylic sump with the skimmer built in, rated for a 150, should be good for what I'm planning
- start running the sump as soon as possible, buying a box of reef bones and 20 or so pounds of live rock so I can get the new rock ready to go into the new tank
- bag the fish, coral and all the inverts that I can grab
- keep as much of the water as possible and have as much NSW ready to go as possible
- I'm going BB on the new one, so I'm not worried about the sand bed on the old one
- new tank will be drilled for an overflow as well as have the back painted
Is there anything I'm missing? Anything I should do different?
