Does anyone know if he has it up and running yet?

After I broke my back carrying that HEAVY thing in with everybody, I was hoping to see the tank up and running!!!!!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for lending your back that day, greatly appreciated your guys helping out with that heavy thing .

Anyhow, I got the rock in there just no water yet, this recession have hit our business pretty hard for the last two year (especially in 08). Small improvement this month but it doesn't help much. We have an option to stay or move in a few months, chances are we will join the Elk Grove folks in a single story (at lease my wife will be more happy with me making less holes in the wall )

I'll snap some pics later tonight for you guys though. I might even start cycling it so that it will be ready after the move.

Anthony

That is one beautiful tank and stand. Can't wait to see it up and running!!

Uh-oh that means we have to move that tank again! I'm changing my cell number J/K!

Sorry to hear about the possible move...I hope everything turns around for you and your family.

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics. I was just thinking about you and that HUGE tank and was wondering if you had time to convert everything over.
Love the shelf aquascape! Those clams willl look great in there!

It's amazing to see the system I built again! How is everything coming? Don't tell me it's still dry Anthony?

It looks nice, wish it was not to heavy or I would have kept it!

Take care...

Bamm Bamm Thats awesome!!!!!!

You know how long it took me to build that! I started building that system when you were drinking similac baby formula.. No J/K it took me a long long while to do! If I could do it over again I would NOT!

It's a beautiful tank! Designed with lots of room below and lots of vents for air! It's a monster though...

I hope it's running with water!

I'll likely have water in it this weekend. I would have to agree with the weight issue as well.

Glad to hear that this will have some water soon. I might need to do some trimming

The wood work on that thing is sooooo nice I would be afraid to work in the tank and spill water on it.

It will be a show stopper for sure!!

That's what I was telling my wife when I was building it! She clearly did not see the big picture!

Anyhow, thanks for the comments!

Not bad for someone with mild wood working skills!

[Kaiden]

Ok, maybe I lied...

It only took about a solid month to build. Not that long...

 

[Bamm Bamm]
