The temp holding tank(regular 40G)
Spare bedroom(AKA fish room) a mess getting ready.
All the old rock, and one bucket of new rock.
Tank finally empty.
Tank empty, now for the sump.
Sump empty and removed. I have to give a shout out to Soulpatch for this, but the entire bottom of my stand under the sump was soaking wet. Had he not suggested I epoxy painted it, it would be a ruined stand being MDF. You can see where the skimmer overflowed a few times.
Living room a mess! Good thing my wife was at work!
And I had the entire kitchen counter taken up with dirty nasty pumps, skimmers, PH, etc....
The rock hard sandbed. I was able to take most of it out just like rocks.
And the pukani removed. You can see the massive amount of GHA on it, and no thats not coralline, but green algae. Wonder if I can sell it to that new brewery thats selling green algae beer? LMAO
