getting ready for the move to Texas!

[loserkidz]

I am going to be attempting to relocate my family and tank to Texas in two weeks and will be trying to document as much as I can. I will be moving my 385g tank with all of the livestock over to our new house in Rockwall, TX. I will be also attempt to redesign the system in regards to the sump and fuge. Currently the sump consists of a 40g and a 29g fuge. I am having Socal Creations make me a sump that is 24"X 24"x60" and I will also have a 60g frag system on top of the sump. I went ahead and purchased some 2x2 and 1x2 12gauge steel this morning and welded up the stand that will hold both systems. The grow out system will be lit by a lumearc L3 reflector and the sump with some PC's.

Children don't try this at home,Parents teach your kids to always roll down their sleeves when welding!!!!!!

That is awesome. You wasted no time at all. Are you bringing your welding equipment with you? If so, I bet we'll have club members demanding to be in line to get a stand welded by you.

Your PM box is full. Be sure to clean out both the IN box and the SENT box.

I bet you'll love your new set up, and hope everything goes well with your move.

You watch Ken. Soon you'll be calling Brent "Mr President."

 

[Konadog]

By then, he probably won't take my calls!

Ken,
I ended up shooting with one of our Industrial coatings from work. When are you going to be picking up the stand from the shop?

There is a lot of fish store near Dallas. I like this store at Arlington and Dallast North Aquarium. I also just bought a brand new house from Grandhomes builder (http://www.grandhomes.com) in Denton, Tx. it's very big house and cheap price but the properly tax is killing me (2.71%).

Brent, since we are discussing LFS now, here's the map:

Parents teach your kids to always roll down their sleeves when welding!!!!!!

haha...and don't let them wear jeans with holes in the knees when you are welding standing up, the slag will find its way right into the hole, down your leg, into your sock, and right on your toe :mad2:

Good luck on the move! It sounds more complicated than the Ken move.

nice, I have family in dfw and have been thinking about moving there myself. I'll have to visit some of these next time I'm there. The last time I was there all I found was a shack of a LFS the size of kitchen.

 

[melev]

What is called Reef Shack? :lol: Just kidding. There are a number of stores here, and some are better than others. Still, to have local stores of any kind is usually a plus in my book.

Brent - best of luck on the move - you gave me my first SPS piece and introduced me to the RC. Thanks for everything, you will be missed.

Just a little bit! I'm helping some at this end, but I'm not making the drive to Texas.

But just think, now we have a place to stay if MACNA or IMAC are in town.
