Old tank gone....



Cutting the stand and moving bracing for all the new plumbing





prepping for the lift





Did you know 2 people can lift a 1/2" 180 gallon, just your legs get shorter and arms longer...Right Tbone (Trev)?



Plumbing the 4 Way and Dart







Water testing for leaks



Dart running







and 1/2 full with sand and live rock



got it 3/4 full last night, just have to finish the plumbing to the sump and return pump...
