Here are some pics from the pickup:

Just starting to take the crate apart for the tank:


Here's my baby...


Here's me, looking pretty impressed with Jay's work.


Taking the crate apart


Out comes the tank:


Examining our handy work.


Tank going up onto the truck with the crate base under it.


Putting the crate back over the tank:


Putting the finishing touches on things for the future trip home:

Actually the overflow end is a smoked glass...it will be buried in a cabinet so with the darker glass, you should see nothing.
