New 240 gallon!
We left home at 7:30 AM and met up with Tri and Robert @ 8:15 AM and we all drove to Dallas and arrived at 9:30 AM and saw our new 240 gallon. Robert, Tri, Colton, Ricky & I went to work and tour down the whole setup by 11:00 AM. That was after they moved a baby grand piano 2 times.
We stop and had lunch and then took Robert back home. Tri, Ricky, Colton, & I went back to our house and moved the stand out of the truck first and then the 240 gallon tank. This time it was only 3 of them and they made it and then we up packed everything else.
Then the work began. We had to go get the supplies for the plumbing, electrical, and wood for the canopy.
After we returned back home we did the plumbing, chiller, and our new skimmer (Thanks Robert).
We went to bed at 3:00 AM and woke up at 8:30 AM and we started taking down the 100 gallon. Then we placed the 240 gallon in its new spot. WOW! It was huge it took up the whole wall. Then we hooked up everything and started adding the sand, and we didn't have enough for a 3' - 4" sand bed so down we took the 80 gallon. We used the rock from the 240, 100, & 80 gallon. Then we had to go to Wal-Mart to get plug ins... After we had both skimmers working great and the water cleared up we added the fish & coral to there new home. At 5:30 AM we went to bed and we woke up at 10:30 AM Monday and started working again.
Today Ricky & Little Ricky built the canopy they installed 4 VHO's, 3 250 MH's, moonlights, and the fans to take out the hot air.
At 11:15 PM it was feeding time.
