    How to replace carpet under a large reef tank?

    If moving the tank to another location permanently is possible that is the best way...We had our floors refinished and just moved the tank from our living room to my bedroom, since its my tank anyway.... If whoever is installing is quick enough maybe you could move the tank, rip out the old...

    Thanks for the compliments. Ya...I'll get fish soon, I've been lazy lol. We moved the tank recently and I just wanted to make sure things would be stable before adding anything new... I'd like to get either a few green chromis or a few cardinals to school up and swim around there. Adam

    Re-Doing my Tank - Questions or Advice

    As long as the rocks and filter are kept "alive," I am sure nothing terrible would happen to your tank...I did not have a cycle, but then again I am going by the appearnce of the water and tank inhabitants (I no longer test for anything)... Keep a little water like I did and you should see...
