Awesome 500G Reef Tank Move

Do you ever wish you had a larger tank? Before you upgrade, think about all the work involved, not only maintaining it, but eventually for the inevitable tank move.

Check out this time lapse video of a 500G tank move, just a few gallons at a time.

Lessons learned

Some things you need for a successful tank move of this size:

  • A lot of time (this took them 11 hours straight)
  • A patient and supportive spouse. Hopefully one with a strong back and will lump buckets of water.
  • Several friends to keep the bucket brigade moving.
  • Less friends and family who just get in the way
  • A muscle shirt (no wet sleeves)
  • A spring clamp keep the siphon hose in place. Not a single siphon slipped out of the bucket onto the hardwoods. Impressive!

And who knew that the Benny Hill theme song could be so annoying.
