[rullypullyfishhead]

ill post pictures later.just to tired tonight.tried fitting a 33 long sump under a 135 aquarium.this doesnt fit from the front.quess i need to drain tank as low as can go ith fish in it and move tank from wall and install from back side?
what a bugger.

Sucks to hear.

Good news is that the sump must be massive!

How are the fish?

same problem here. i gotta try it soon. does your 135g stand have the doors in the middle open wide, but doors in the sides have a center brace?
i don't want to scare my fish anymore since they just settled in for about 2 weeks...

the sump is a 33 long 48x12x13 the length is the problem.iam replaceing the 20 long for more water displacement and when i go on vacation ill have more water so pump wont dry out.fish are doing great thx.they seem to be alittle picky eaters from time to time spitting out the nls or flake though and then eatting anyways.
yeah the 135 has a center brace in the back no brace in front.but the rear corners are more open so iam thinkin i can squeez it in.i removed front doors and i was a inch short of getting tank in.i raised and lowered to no avail.iam going to wait till i make a carbon filter cause iam gonna have to drain alot of water so i can push tank.i want to make sure to keep temp and water quality perfect for these trophs.ive been just using prime which is good as well.iam just gonna have to wait in the mean time the wife keep looking at 33 tank on hallway.i can sense the tension lol.

here we go.now get in your holetut 004 (2)..jpgsump in use 20 long 30Lx12wx12h.sump desired 33 long 48Lx12wx13h.iam thinkin gota move aquarium from wall and possible through back side.to do this iam talkin 90% water change and i will not do that without a carbon filter of some kind which i dont have so project on hold.my fish have only been in tank 1 week so iam gonna wait few more weeks anyways to let them know there home is secure.90% water change on week old fish in new aquarium is like moving a new employee desk outside in the parking lot.:furious:

backside i think the center rear brace be easier to get through then the 2 front off center braces.unfortunately its alot of work but once in there will be more water displacement.iam going to use lexan to cover for evaporation loss.tut 006 (2)..jpgtut 007..jpg
