Me and a few carpenter friends (really just them, i just helped bring the lumber down to the basement and measure stuff) reinforced the floor were the 300 and the 120 are going. If all goes as planned the tank will be here before 1:00 tomorrow.
Here are some pics of the reinforcement. I wish I took progress pics whil we were building it but as long as I can have my monsters upstairs, I'm happy.

The tank is less than 3 hours away and fase 1 of the move is already complete!

I drained the 120 down to where even the rays were partly emerged. I was origionally going to but them in a little 5 gallon bucket but as you can see from the picture below, it was an awful idea.

Instead, i used the sterolite tub I use to hold the food for my guinea pig. After a good rinse, it was ready to be filled with the remaining tank water.
