Going to give everyone a step by step of everything that will be going into putting this tank back together. I recently brought this tank home from Coolmbu's house in Michigan. My second trip to his house first was a 330 gallon and then the 600 gallon big boy that will be a final home to my rays and their tankmates. This trip started out at 6am and didn't end till 10pm for me last weekend. 660 miles and a lot of talk time with my father. The tank has sat for a week while I put some supplies together to rebuild the plumbing and think about how I was going to do it.

Here was everything spread out in the garage. The original setup at Coolmbu's house had all the filtration in another room. Not happening here. After getting a couple friends and Mybluem3 to help put the tank on the stand it was time to cut some holes to house the filtration under the tank. Ran out of steam so I will finish cutting the other hole and clean them up to be able to attach doors to the stand for easy access.

Told the wife make sure the insurance policy was paid up. Should have it all going today though. I can't wait.
