Thanks for the nice words!

OK, here's a bit of an update.

The last month or so, I've been getting the old 125 up and running to be able to act as our holding system for all our livestock. We used about 50% salt mix, and 50% water change from the 180. This helped ensure the 125 has matching water parms and when we move all the livestock over, they won't be ticked off.

The last few nights after work, I've been emptying out the 180.
The first thing was to take care of the wife's demand that I not ruin the floors during this process. A quick run to walmart and a bunch of el-cheapo shower curtains placed on the floors:

Then we just start pulling corals and liverock out:

Eventually, nothing left but fish:
