Thinking of making this change, Comments???

Just syphon all your water out before moving anything in tank. I doubt you have a heavy load on the tank being it's only a few months old. So the sand has to be fairly clean still. Just do a big water change when you fill up new tank & it should be good to go.

 

Thanks for all the recommendations guys!!! I took the plunge and bought the tank, I will not be using that stand because I have a nice stand canopy but I'm going to take the power unit he has built in(tons if outlets and built in timers off one plug). As far as skimmer it comes with one but should I just hang on my BH2000 on the sump or use the one it comes with? Also going to ditch the current light setup it came with, sure I could get some money for it.

 

so technically your using nothing but the tank lol
if you sell the rest you will be getting the tank for free though (or even make a little, so bravo!

 

Ya I'm gonna use the sump and tank, the ATO, and maybe the skimmer, what do you guys think of the 150MSX skimmer vs my current HOB. BH2000?

With a sump now I have more options for skimmers

 

You would have to have a very deep sump to be able to hang your bh2000 off of it and one of the best things about having a sump is being able to hide your equipment in it.I would sell the bh2000 and either use the skimmer that came with the tank or buy another in sump skimmer.

 

Wow! that is an awesome deal and from what I read here, you will love having a sump. I actually think that stand is pretty cool but that's up to you....it's hard to tell what is on it (the metallic things) but that alone looks like you could get a decent price on. Congrats on your find! I agree with what most have said, your tank is not that old, I would use all of your live rock and sand and just switch them over. Congrats!

 

Ok cool, my BH2000 is literally only a month old! I might sell it and get an awesome in sump skimmer, any recommendations? I might want a larger sump so I can make a fuge, any recommendations on that??

Ya the stand it came with has marble and it's welded steel the guy made it all himself, id keep it but my tank matches all the wood in my room

 

You should have no trouble selling the bh2000,very good HOB skimmer I have thebh1000 myself.I don't know that much about possible in sump skimmer choices but I would definitely consider a reef octo model,their products seem to be of good quality.As for sump size it's often recommended to go as large as possible.You should start researching,there's tons of info on here regarding sump builds so do a lot of reading and start asking questions.
