When I read the email thread-update notifications for this thread, I thought, how on earth can he be talking about a cone snail when there's no tank yet? :lol: Ahhhh it's all so clear now. ;)

Haha sorry Tony.
It's sad what a guy will resort to while waiting for a tank to be built... I have named it and everything...

I like the idea of keeping the safe close-by. That would come in handy with this hobby.

The only need any of us would have for a safe is a fire safe to keep all our recieps for the insurance company. God knows we'll spend every last dime we have our dam tanks. LOL

Haha, I closed that safe for the last time when I was twelve years old or so. I forgot the combination but I have held on to it bacause someday I am going to get into it and get my comic books back...


TRIX raises a good point though. I wonder what coverage my policy offers if I had some tank-related disaster?

- Chad

I've been told that if my system was lost as part of a claim I would be covered for the aquarium and equipment but not livestock.

Update:

I hadn't called Bow Valley since I ordered the tank - but they phoned me today! And the tank and sump are finished - a week sooner than quoted!!

I can't make it up there until Friday, but once I do, I will post some shots.

Tank has arrived
 

First off, I know I am going to get a lot of requests about this, but I do not know where I got the leopard blanket from... I just hung it so that you didn't have to look at my messy basement.

Along with the display tank, I also picked up a sump that I had built to maximize the shape of my stand:

Love it! The leopard print back ground that it. Looks like a trendy new type of tank.:razz:

Hahahaha
A little voice told me that I should have grabbed a different blanket of the shelf, but I just didn't listen....
