and my reply was.....
lol, Yes, just what I imagined my friends and family would say when I begged for help Mr reeferfulton . But that is why I lend my son and his friends money. I never expect the money repaid in cash, but they know they will have to pay and pay dearly they will this time (says with a sinister tone). Oh son.... remember when I lent you and your buddy a few hundred to pay rent? Huh? When was that Dad? he replies. Oh about 6 months ago... Time to pay up son..I have a simple way for you guys to repay me. hehe So the three of us get to Dustys house in Surrey and haul it into the back of the truck and up the stairs. Not so bad, but an all day job it was...Finished in time to see the Seahawks kick the Panthers butts...

Have you heard the old saying "big and dumb"? Well the three of us probably thought that as we carried the tank up by hand. No winch, no sled. Just brawn and a great fear of dying... It was rather enlightening....lol
Here it is in the front entrance..  I swear the brace was broken before I got it...

It took me about 20 mins to cut out the silicone and remove the broken brace and replace it.
Tank all fixed up and ready

Now to get my 180 DT taken apart and sold with the stand. Which I do have advertised on here.
Now of course, if you listen to my wife, I do not do anything in life the easy way. I never thought I would be dumb enough to want a bigger tank! I learned my lessen with boats...or so I thought. Anyways, since I thought nothing of the future when building my first ever saltwater tank last year, I used the the stand for my 180 bowfront DT, to set the 90 gal refugium on. Of course it was a wise idea to use up the extra space on the stand to set half the 75 gallon sump on as well. I would never think that one day, I may need that stand back..UGH!! So now I have to break down these tanks to get stand.... Pay attentions kids, you may learn alot of what not to do from me...

Sooo, anyone want to help lift this sucker into place?
I think the tank only weighs about 85 lbs , but it has to be raised about 5 ft to get it up there...  I have to lift it into place from there as the 290 is too big to get it around the to the front of wall, where it is only 3 feet off the ground instead of 5.5 feet. Always easy... just in case any one ever moves a tank. I suggest renting a few sets of glaziers suction cup lifters. You can rent them for cheap at most rental stores and make lifting big tanks easier... http://www.seratechware.com/Catalogu...AT=A09-B&LNG=1

Haha, Yesssss. My lil package came today.
I can not believe it got here so quick. I have ordered from some of the more well known online stores in the USA and every time it has taken a minimum of 10 days to get to Sumas WA, where I go and pick it up. One time I tried having it delivered to my door and it took over three weeks to arrive and it was only an impeller for my Red Dragon skimmer pump. This stuff was shipped from Hong Kong Last Monday and it was at my local post office yesterday!!! WOW! Pretty impressive So these are the goods and the prices.. Jebao Twins Linkage Controller Select Controller: Package RW-20 (+ $140.00) $140.00 This is 2 RW20ps and the twin controller for 140 bucks! Jebao RW/ FS/ RW20 Replacement Kits Extension Cord (100cm) $10.00 Boyu Water Level Alarm $4.00 Liquid Box 3 Room $22.50 Apex / GHL to Jebao RW DC WP Pump $34.99   I have some Tunze powerheads and waveboxes, but at this price, I figured would try these out.
