It was kinda cheeky but in all honesty i made sure the wife was ok with it, what with the baby coming in July and what not. Ecentially i just made sure she new well what would happen and then let her make the decision.

It was her idea to document it, she took most of the picture of us putting it all back together!

We really arent to sure. Im inclined to believe it was the trim letting go causing the tank to lean causing the stand to list. I know this because even with the tank leaning hard the stand was still level both ways. Im going to email the manufacture of the tank because its supposed to have a 5 year warranty on it. We will see how that goes

And about HD and pvc...I noticed here in Calgary at the Shawnessy location that they only have 4" and the stuff with holes in it. I had to go to Rona for pvc.

Yea we really put alot into that stand, i wasnt going to have the same thing happen. It was funny moving the old AGA stand out, it was WAY lighter than the new one. As for the PVC all HD had was the 4" with hold as well... weird.

Lets see...the last night I pulled an all nighter there was big signs, bright lights and black jack...maybe I should try one when I get motivated to build the new setup.


Again...Well done!

Thanks alot, and all i have to say LONG night, i dont even think i was up that long for my bachelor part.... ugh im still tired!! But all in all its was a great time! Not exactly the circumstances i would have liked to do an upgrade, but in the end its all the same
