I am using the philosophy of our government in regards to the budget. A little here, a little there call it home improvement, interior decorating, add a few pieces of plumbing to my home depot trip who's the wiser? 
As far as the tank goes, it should be here around the end of the month. Yes I am epoxying the floor and starting to do some room renovations to make the equipment room look good. I will post pics soon!
Victoria secret HMMMM (not back in the outdoor section!!)

The truck guy was nervous but I assured him I have seen this done like this before as the tank tetered off the lift gate.
Here is the crate with some strange canadian type screws holding it together (very well packed):
Here is the tank uncrated:
This is going to be a beast to lift. (hmm were can I get some airbags????)

A quick pic of the plumbing so far:
Thanks to Jasen a fellow reefer for doing the grunt work on getting everything cut and dry fitted today. I started glueing tonight and should finish up tomorrow.
The system has two closed loops to either side of center, two 1.5 in durso drains and two eductor returns (right side in picture). One added feature is the CL on the left will have a valve dedicated to drainage during water change (red handle valve).

I'm glad I looked at this thread. I'm getting my 360gl on Tuesday from AO. Was the lift gate truck a semi? How did you get it in your garage? I am just trying to figure out what I need to get mine in my house. If you get a minute Pm me that would great.

The lift gate truck was a semi. The guy did not want to put it on the lift gate because the gate was like 30 in or so, consequently it hung way out in the air quite a bit. I backed my truck behind it as he put it on the gate as a precaution. Fortunately it never teetered off. As we lowered it I put my weight on the opposite end as a guard against any jerky movement by the gate as it went down. Once it was on the ground they have a hand truck that easily moved it into the garage. I unloaded it with just the one moving guy.
