Sounds good. I'm dreading the lift. But it won't be for a while anyways :(

Now that I've offered to help, you better tell me how big the tank is...haha. I figured maybe a 150 or 180?

Sucker. LOL.

Guess I should have mentioned it a 300g. 96x30x24. I can't even slide it on my carpet. And I'm a pretty big guy.

Yikes...Sucker is right. Oh well, I'll just call on you when I need my tank lifted up too.
So who made your tank? Is it new or did you have it at the last place?

I got it from aquarium illusions in Edmonton. One of their display tanks they were selling.
I had a 180 in Winnipeg, but shipping was to much, and gave me an excuse to finally upgrade
what size tank are you upgrading to?

You are opening your self to a good smart @ss remark there Nigel.. No Nigle your not big your Huge lol

Looks good welcome back to the sunny okanagan.Wish we had any stores down here in penticton all we have is total pet but they never have anything and ouch petcetera i went in there yesterday and i thought i was in the scene from finding nemo with the dirty tank.Reefkeppers is a good store to go to haven't been for a while got tired of handing over my pay check lol
Terry
ps if you decide to sell some frags hint hint i would love to stop in on the way back from my parent in kamloops

The tank looks nice. I was interested in seeing a tank from AI as they have been on my list for when I upgrade.

As for the upgrade...I bought a lot overlooking Okanagan lake and now I'm working on arranging a builder that I picked out. He's excellent, but busy so he can't start till late 2008. Plus my wife and I are expecting our first little one in January so I have to balance being kid poor, house poor and reef poor. I'm drawing my own house plans, so I've been working on how to integrate an in-wal 250 - 280g and a full fish room. It's great to see what people on here have been doing because I'm learning how many things I need to think about first.

I'm assuming from the look of your pics that you had a partially finished basement that you are building the tank room into?

Terry, I'll let you know when I have frags, will be a while but I'll give you a shout if I get any. Also I'm assuming Reefkeepers is a salt store? Where are they located?

mseepman congrats on the arrival of your first little one. I have 2. 3 year old, and 15 month old so I feel your pain when you say broke. My basement is finished, but I did tear down a wall and built a new one to accomidate a fish room, and to have the tank inwall. Just in the stall mode cause the electrical is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

Going to mention to that my dad's coming to visit me from Winnipeg, so I'm getting some stuff from Praire reef supplies, so if anyone wants and drygoods, that's easy enough to bring on a plane, your more then welcome to tag on. Free shipping

Your "slapped together" tank looks pretty good. :)

Have you been to Reef Keepers yet? They recently had some(prick)one dump some sort of poison in their tanks when they were really busy, so they lost a lot of stuff. :( Probably not worth stopping by for a month or so...
