well guys i setup the tank yesterday, got it on the old stand, and filled it up, then put in the damsel at noon today... well i got a problem... the table its on isnt strong enough... i was lookin at it tonight and its bowing. i need to move it fast before it snaps.... what should i do to move it? am i gonna have to net the damsel and put it in the bag i got him in, and then drain the tank to move it or what? all i gotta do is cut a new piece of wood and replace the old with new supports, so the tank only has to lift up and move forward about 2 feet onto another table... i need info quick though before this table snaps!! thanks!

yea i dont have live rock in this one... just dead coral. the live rock is in the reef tank and its not on the sand... i guess tomorrow ill have to go buy a net, net the fish, bag him, drain the water and fix the table... its an awesome table... its an old computer desk, got the top (tank) a sliding drawer for my testing, a big shelf that slides out for whatever... then a lower static shelf that i will probably put somethin on lol
what should i use to drain the tank?
