Damn Floyd I thought we were in store for take-2 of exploding 1600 gallon tank

LOL I hope not! I think their insurance would drop them if that happened. Tank company that made the new one went out of business right after they got it. The shipping company chipped the tank and they sent it back and they rounded off the chipped corner, then shipped it back and it had rubbing marks on it because they didn't protect it right. Then they discovered that they had not cut the overflow teeth as deep as they specified, and drilled the drain holes too low (on a tank that they made the stand for, and the sump for). No wonder they went out of business. So I wonder now that they out gone, can we post *******?

Nope. Ten e you guess the rest. There's a reason they went out of business. The hobby is better off without them around.
