Offloading the crate was not as difficult as I thought, actually it was pretty easy! The driver helped us, it was very nice of him.

Those guys at Miracles are awesome, my drawings was a 3x3x2 and the tank measured exactly 3x3x2! The overdesigned(by me) overflow was made to the exact dimension!

Derek, if you reading, I would like to thank you for your support and 2nd to none service!

Thanks, Blurry and Iamwrasseman for committing to help the move.

oh my god that's gorgeous. I know I requested pictures before, but please don't post any more. What are you gonna light that with Lang? What are you doing for a stand? Is it going to have a canopy? Rimless=beautiful! any pics of current set up?

 

[pascal32]

[johno4]

:bounce2: This tank is AWESOME, gotta love Miracles (literally and figuratively)! +1 on Dereks service, second to none!

Definatly start a build thread and keep us informed; I'm looking forward to watching this come alive!

 

[mockery]

WOW that tank is awesome! Glad you were able to figure out how to unload it! Can't wait for a build thread!

 

[Haffs09]

Gorgreous looking tank!

 

[solRNY]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

As for stand I am thinking of getting someone to weld a frame together and then skin it white, not quite sure... know of any local stand builder/cabinat maker?

As for lighting, maybe a low profile gieseman, hung from the ceiling, want to put the ballast in the cieling joist, but not sure...

I have a lot of planning to do, want to get this up and running by mid summer

Took a few more pictures, tried my best to keep things constant, can you tell what is what?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

white balance test?
low iron glass vs. regular float?

 

[iamwrasseman]

solRNY pm me about that stand and we can talk .
