Hello all, I am the hairy armed guy featured in some of the pictures.
I installed the new fuge underneath the beast today, here is the story.
First I took a picture to remember what it looked like in case it collapsed and I had to flee the country.

Floorjack and emergency board in case the jack failed.

Apparently they nailed that piece from the top as well as screwing it from inside. It is unfortunate the top split when I hammered it out of there. Had I known they were there I would have knocked the bottom out and not damaged the it.

It really didn't want to fit even with the brace moved.
BTW: That was a brand new ball valve that froze. Never use channel locks to try and turn em....

Smashed the hell out of my thumb forcing it in there!

I was overjoyed when I got it to pop in under the drain valve!

Decided it was best to just put the 2x4 behind there with the brace cracked at the top.

All done and running! Splitting off one of the overflows was a really good idea, I really like it. Beats taking it from the pump by a mile.

It was much scarier thinking about it than actually doing it....
It is a cool looking tank for the chaeto. I am wondering where did you get that size, or was it custom made?
The tank is AMAZING.
Incredible job.
Keep up the good work.
