Hello all!
I got the 240g RR tank from fishfeeder yesterday. That was a fun trip. I got to meet fishfeeder and his wife, and Stephish(I think). It was a fairly uneventful trip until the way home.
Every time I go out of town to get a big tank something crazy happens. I went to Arab about a year and a half ago to pick up a 160g. On the way there I had a a wreck with the person I was following. On the way back my truck decided that it didn't want to run anymore and it blew a head gasket. I had to get towed back to Muscle Shoals from Lucy Springs.
This time I almost got home. Until, in Athens, one of the tires on my trailer decided that it didn't want to hold air...while I was going 65mph down Hwy 72. That was fun. I had to wait at the VERY nice gas station in athens for 2 hrs for my dad to bring a spare to the trailer. Nothing was hurt or lost thank goodness. I got home at 11:00pm.
Anyway, I have decided to keep this tank for a nice display/prop tank. I have to reseal the bottom, but other than that it is a very nice tank.
The dementions are 96"L x 24"H x 24"W, and it has a 75g sump. It has two 2" drains in each corner and a return in the middle. I plan on going with mainly with zoa's and shrooms.
I don't have a big enough bank account to go rush out and buy the newest and best equipment. So I'm gunna do a budget build. But for right now it is going to have to sit dry until I get moved down to Jacksonville. But that will give me some time to procure some used equipment, reseal the bottom, and plan this thing out right.
I'll post a few pics of the move tomorrow. I don't have the usb cable to hook my camera to my puter with me.
Thanks fishfeeder!!!
