Tank is leaking :(

[arjayl]

I currently have a 55 Gal Reef/Fish tank. The tank has started to leak so I am replacing it with one the same size. While I am transfering all the water..sand..coral....etc...
Does anyone recomend any undergravel and/or custom built filtration system (under the sand) before I migrate all the existing inhabitants?
55 GAL
Mixed Corals
Mixed Fish
180 lbs Live Rock
3-4 inches of crushed coral/Live sand base
Fluval 340
Penguin 340?
Protien Skimmer
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Nope, just add your sand and run with it. You could set up a plenum if you want to, but, I would just let it go like it is.

I would'nt use a undergravel filter with a sand bed.

Thats old school, they cause all kind of problem with nitrates.

I agree ugf are outdated and should be taken off store shelves.
