Well the tank made it safely to it's new home.

Everything is sitting in the garage for fresh paint and varathane.

Thanks to EmilyB and Barry and a big thank you to Victor for his truck and his son-in-law.

Just kidding Clint you were a big help too I appreciate your help.
Can't wait to fill it.

Keith

It was a tense few hours for all of us I know....

Glad all went well.

This is what I have left....

Of course, the mandatory piece of firewood,

and missing dried up fish was there as well....

(chromis....hmmmm - so THAT is where they go...)

Hey Jim. Ya your right I couldn't pass up a tank like this and what a bargain. I bought the sunburst bulbs as well. When all is said and done I will have three well maybe four systems set up. One of these is the six 20 gal tanks I have set up that I want to use for fragging. I'm not sure if I'll tear down the 50 gal or the 112 or both.
What did you say your plans were now Deb? New flooring in the family room, revive the chromis and put him in a 230 Gal.

He looked pretty good for a year plus gone.....

I was really thinking about rehydration....

We had a whole afternoon at Revy/Rona.....it was like fish geeks trying to redecorate.....I found these tiles that looked like sand. They were $6 per tile

That's a great idea, you have gravel to your garage that looks just like argonite sand.

You should stay with the ocean theme.

Seriously though the tiles sound close to perfect. Except $6 per tile

Compared to a marine tank, $6/tile sounds cheap- you could tile the driveway!

By the way- what's the story about the chromis, was it long lost behind the tank?
