Good for you colin!!!

I've admired your tank often when visiting the shop - and wondered how in the H anyone would move it.
I was a weeny when it came to my tank and paid Mike and the boys to deliver

Best 5 bucks I ever spent!

there's a reducer to 1/4 on the end?

intially you have to go from a hose fitting (timer) to pipe thread and there is a reducer to go from 1/2" pipe thread to 1/4" compression fitting but you have to buy an insert to go inside the 1/4" tubing or the compression fitting will crush the line

just a little update for you guys. the plumbing is completed system running and temperature finally up. i started some aquascaping today only half done one structure but i thought i would give you some updates to keep you interested. the skimmer was hooked up today and skimmed like mad. with 5 minutes i had a 1/8" at the bottom of cup of dark goo. sorry there is a couple blurry pictures. the rock in the middle of the tank is only temporary to keep it wet
