As I’ve posted before this summer my family is moving about 6 hours north to a small town called Ingleside.

My tank is jam packed with frags that have no room to grow, I’ve now resorted to placing frags on my sand bed. i can only see one solution to this eye sore which is going bigger...

At first i wanted to go Uber big, Then i realized that this is probably my last year or two living at home, and i need to be able to bring this tank with me when i move out...not to mention i don’t want to spend a fortune. Therefore, I have decided to go as big as possible using my current stand, lights and skimmer

The dimensions will be 36x24x20 high, which is 75 gallons, made of 3/8” glass. I have been calling around for quotes in both 1/2” and 3/8” and it seems the average cost was about $600….until I heard a custom tank builder in Toronto was having a special on their glass!! Therefore, the cost of the tank will be $199

I plan to move my light units just a bit further apart to get proper coverage. I also plan to use Marco rocks to avoid the slight bubble algae issue I am currently having,but im going to try and reuse all my sand.

My only problem is trying to figure out how I’m going to move everything and get this new tank setup, when the stand I need is currently supporting my aquarium….help? To all those ReefAddicts out there who have moved, how did you do it?
