DRASTIC Change of PLAN (Starting New Tank) Access and Spacing

I've come to realization the I must START UP the NEW TANK. (Or Another Way of putting it....Shut down OLD TANK)

Here is the problem.....



The OLD TANK and SUMP is in the way of my Wall just outside Sump Room.

This is where I plan to do some of the Electrical/Control Setup and other things. (plus my doser, and other key pieces of build are behind old tank)

I also need to work in the Sump Room with Sump in Place (for Controller and cord distances)

SO I HAVE PREPARED THE SUMP Room (Just enough).....

When I work later, I can cover up the Tank (to prevent any dust, debris)



What I've done in preparation for the (NEW) TANK SETUP.
-> Painted key areas (With WaterProof Sealer)
-> Fixed up an OLD Sump Stand (Which I removed a long while ago (but kept for a table), since I had to lower sump to get better Gravity Flow on OLD SETUP)
------> New Setup will allow a HIGHER SUMP placement (wonderful for access and Maintenance)
------> Higher Sump mean less Return Pump Height so more GAL/HR Flow on existing RLSS Return Pump.
------> Also Raised sump will give me STORAGE access underneath.

Small improvement from last time (Foam Feet Underpads) For Quieter Running SUmp.



YES THIS MEANS I'm going to start making water to fill the NEW TANK.

Then move sump over, and......Not sure....

But I think I'll just transfer Rocks and fish into New Tank (With a 2nd pass on New Tank Setup....The Permanent Setup)
