SWEET! If you need help getting it off the truck or something give me a call and I'll stop by.

Its finally here. All thats needed to get from the garage to the basement stand is a saws-all and 6 guys.

Ro water to be delivered on Thursday to start mixing 500 gallons of salt for the Saturday install.

 

[tom obrecht]

EXCELLENT! Looks like they did a nice job. Keep us posted.

 

[huskerreef]

Looks great, really excited about the external over flows. pretty much ready for the move, just a little electrical work. Most of the framing and such is done.

 

[lvpd186]

Wow that looks like its going to be a sweet tank. :dance:

Wow - wish I could help out on Saturday. Make sure to take lots of pics. Here a link that explains the sand rinsing thing (much better than I did).

looking good Jim. Let the fun begin

I might be able to make it up to help...not sure yet. But it sounds promising anyways.

BTW...are you going to the first husker game vs. Western Michigan? The first game is always the most fun game to go to all year.

thanks to Brad, Matt, Kurt, Joel, Steven, (Jeff, Steve, Bill non fish geeks) we sucessfully hauled this bad boy to the basement, filled it with water, plumbed it, aquascaped and connected it up to the 240, repaired walls and effectively made one heck of a mess. And and extra thanks to Brad for staying until after 1 a.m. to get plumbing done! and yes pics to come, must rest.

Hole in side of garage

Getting a plan together

120 for a sump

finally in place and filling

more pics later of the aquascape and lights. It barely made it through the wall and did require an emergency cutting of a wall stud to get it in the last couple feet.

 

[zenn]

wow. sorry i couldn't make it up. looks like you got everything put together though. I'm impressed that you got it plumbed and filled aleady. it's huge.

 

[tom obrecht]

Looks like alot of the old gang was there to help. Looks like everything turned out well considering the situation.

 

[Scott M]

Incredible tank, I'm just glad you get to finish it after putting a hole in the wifes house!

 

[Bax]
