    Thanks... I think reality is only now starting to sink in....
    Fish and all the media will have to be spread amongst the other tanks and this one has to be emptied and moved this weekend so that hopefully next weekend they can start the new build...


    Rather someone enjoys it than have it laying around for ages and getting damaged

    Hahhha sorry you missed out there!!

    Thanks @Whoknows ,

    Was hard work all weekend but it actually didn't go too bad at all

    Saturday,
    Cesar shuffled and moved the fish around into the other tanks we have... no joke moving 50cm rays around... only he can do that.. I wouldn't even try....
    We have had to put the males and females together for now and we will have to monitor closely what happens..
    If the males cause any more damage to the girls we might still have to setup a 1.5m tank for all the fish in the pup tank and move the 3 males into the pup tank and they will have to make do with the 2.2m tank for next month or so.
    Not too wide but the males are rather small due to their species so they will survive
    All the media from the internal filters and the 2.5m sump was transferred and spread around into our other filters and sumps... don't think you can fit a pin into all the other filters and sumps at the moment, they are so FULL of media..
    The other tanks are all rather overstocked however we added so much extra media to their filters that water issues should not be a problem but we will do water changes twice a week just to play safe until all is back to normal
    Also setup a 1.2m tank for two very tiny catfish that couldn't even go into the pup tank
    After all this we eventually called Saturday a day

    Sunday
    Tank was emptied...
    Cesar took the sump out on his own with a pallet jack.. I wanted to kill him because he really abuses his strength sometimes but.. all went ok..
    We were then waiting for my eldest son to arrive and help with the tank, but he ran a bit late and Cesar being like an 'impatient bull in a China shop' when he gets started with something.. just went ahead with the move with my two gardeners and two pallet jacks

    He decided to move the tank ON THE STAND... altogether in one piece ... into my trailer...at this stage.. I just ran away... left my daughter in law to have heart attacks I went and keep the dogs out of the way..
    My Dad and I watched from a distance with our hearts in our throats whilst this took place..
    Have no idea how they managed... but they did.. Mr Cesar did hurt is shoulder a bit but when he is stubbornly doing something he feels no pain.. only afterwards...
    I did take some pictures.. will post later or maybe start a new thread

    Sump was nicely cleaned and then my eldest son arrived and the new stand was put in place and the sump is in place and everything ready for James to do his magic

    Yew... glad that's over
