Awesome 500G Reef Tank Move
19 November 2009Do you ever wish you had a larger tank? Before you upgrade, think about all the work involved, not only maintaining it, but eventually for the inevitable tank move.
Check out this time lapse video of a 500G tank move, just a few gallons at a time.
Lessons learned
Some things you need for a successful tank move of this size:
- A lot of time (this took them 11 hours straight)
- A patient and supportive spouse. Hopefully one with a strong back and will lump buckets of water.
- Several friends to keep the bucket brigade moving.
- Less friends and family who just get in the way
- A muscle shirt (no wet sleeves)
- A spring clamp keep the siphon hose in place. Not a single siphon slipped out of the bucket onto the hardwoods. Impressive!
And who knew that the Benny Hill theme song could be so annoying.
