tank is from concept , about a 90 gallon tank, I'm not too sure how I'll be getting it from Dave, if all the pipes are already glued on etc, if not then I'll need a helping hand with that. should be just a easy plug and play type deal. no extra tools needed but some glue I assume. would need some guidness help setting up the skimmer as I never used one. apparently there's some break in period and a sweet spot where it skims the best ?

then last but not least some of your tank water / seeded media which of course needs to be pest free to super blast this bad boy. i know its not the best way to cycle but my time is limited.

all together I assume it won't take more than an hour or 2 .

Rushing a cycle is a recipe for disaster. Just saying.

I wouldn't glue any PVC and run water through the same day either...

with the amount of nails concept uses (not a diss here), its gonna take more than an hour to unbox, then you gotta move tank stand sump to location cut pipin etc.

might need more than 1 other person to move the tank.

and +1 to rushing cycle = no good.

I can confirm that the crate my ATO tank came in was well protected and well secured with staples / nails.

Agreed my tank and sump took me like 2 hours to unbox … Would rather it extra protected then less but holy crap someone loves a screw gun and staple gun !
