moving to the next room
i don't know if this is the right thread to post this but mods please move it to the right place.
okay i am going to move the tank from one room of the house to the room beside it. the tank has been running fo a year now with a shallow sand bed about 1-2 inches. what is the best way to do this? on the process i will be installing a new sump with plenum and add a calcium reactor. any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Re: moving to the next room
Good luck! I would advise against moving the tank while it has water in it. So if I were you, I'd buy a bunch of plastic trash cans or tubs and move all your water, rocks and animals into the tubs. Hopefully it won't take too long, I'm not sure if you would need heaters and powerheads for each of the tubs. You might want at least a heater for each one in case it takes longer than anticipated.
Empty the tank of as much water as you can, then move it. Put the water, rocks and animals back into the tank. It'll be cloudy... Moving tanks is such a pain in the ass. I'm going to be doing the same thing this weekend.

Re: moving to the next room
did the move yesterday and everything went well so far no casualties but i'm worried about my radiant wrasse which hasn't surfaced yet. i left it in the tank with the yellow coris because they went under the sand and i don't want to stir the sand. the yellow is out and about but still waiting for the radiant to show up.
