So as some of you can guess the tank lift party didn't happen this past weekend. Thats okay, we ended up putting it on the stand tonight.
First the stand needed a hole for the plumbing
Kevin cut in the hole, I watched, and plugged my ears.
A hole!
A padded hole
Then through the magic of photography the tank is suddenly on the stand!
The glass needs to be cleaned, and then our next step is the floor, adjusting everything so its all level.
The rock is still cooking, and it is thankfully far less foul. I hope it will be ready soon enough to get this tank full of salt water in the next two weeks, maybe 4 weeks if I need to wait.
