So far I have accomplished:

Remove current stock to a 30g holding tank
Remove current Turface substrate
Clean Glass inside of tank
Change bulk head threaded fittings for new filters
Install new Eheim 2262 filters

Waiting for FedEx so I can put in my new substrate atleast some of it. Will be headed to the LFS for some cardinals so I can keep the tank cycled and ready for new arrivals as they come. The existing stock was picked up a bit ago and will be rehomed at a local hospital.

The rocks won't get cut tonite as I can't get the saw. May go see what it would cost to rent one for a few hours tomorrow so that I can be done with it.

Driftwood from Mr Barr and Jake should arrive in the next week.

Will update later as the FedEx guy jsut arrived.

Jealous.

Now just be sure to make it at least half as awesome as your last tank. But knowing you, it will be 2x as awesome
