I then took down my 300 DTand set it up temporarily on the floor with it partially filled to keep all of my fish alive. I had a number of Tangs that I have had for these 11 years so it was important that they make the transition.
I had my coral frag tanks going, but I also picked up an old 135g tank off of Craigslist to maintain all of my coral during this transition. Now I had 3 large setups on both sides of the family room floor. ...and a very supportive wife!
I then gutted the cabinetry and stand.
I picked up the stand and moved it into position, leveled it and attached a 3/4" ply bottom.
I was finally ready to take delivery of the tank!
