Tank Overhaul.... thought i would share

[tim the toolman]

Here is the tank before the tear down. Notice the oversized overflow.



Here is a sideview. Almost impossible to get proper flow around the rock structure.

Brought in a holding tank for the fish and coral during the overhaul.





Here is everybody happy in their new home




And all ready to drain the beast.

[tim the toolman]

The tank all emptied and filthy as hell



Here is the carnage that ensued in my living room







And the tank all cleaned re-drilled and the new much smaller overflow installed.

Tank back on the stand.





The new overflow.





And the tank put back together and re-aquascaped







Can finally get flow behind the rockwork

All said and done it was alot of work but definitely worth it in the end.
The tank now runs silent and i have an emergency drain as well so i can sleep at night without fear of a flood. Didnt lose any livestock during the transfers either so all in all must consider it a sucess.
