Had a very daunting task of moving house, and did not want to disassemble this tank. There is no way I would have got the shrimp out of there, so I knew I was going to have to get clever.
Decided to build a table and removable top thing that the tank could be secured to.
With the whole set up being level with the tanks counter top we could just slide over once the water level was dropped.
Had to walk the tank down a flight of stairs and back up another set to get it into the car. A very slow drive later, and we were ready to get set up at the new home
Haven't taken a proper picture of it yet, but this iphone one could be worse...
No losses, the fish (Salt & Pepper Corys and chili rasbora) didn't seem panicked, didn't even lose colour or hide!
I took the time to cut away a circle at the back of the cabinet so the filter, air pump and all plugs could hide inside now.
don't worry, I cleaned that top shelf too
