![]() Ok Let me tell you my delema.
The stand was built in place, right in front of my current tanks. This was because there was no way to bring the completed stand into the house due to door widths. So now I'm faced with treating the tank in the house. I'm worried about the fumes and my current tank as well, we have a Parrot and fumes of stains and what not have been proven fatal to birds. Oh BTW. The tank will have to come in through a door 30inches wide. the tank is 30inches tall and 36 wide. So some demo of the house is required. My wife is going to kill me :0 J |
