Tomorrow we will likely go pick the tank up as soon as J&L opens. Then I can go grab the plumbing I need for it, and get the back painted. Going to give the paint a chance to dry before we get it moved into the house.

I will totally take all the help I can get, this thing is heavy + stairs. But I don't want people waiting around while the thing drys lol

In this weather (damp and cold) I wouldn't expect your paint job to dry very quickly, unfortunately.

Well a HUGE thank you to gregzz4 and moloto!

Because I'm a giant weakling it was up to the guys to do the heavy lifting!

Greg helped get the tank to my house with his truck and partook in some of the heavy lifting!
Patrick was here for the 2nd half of the tank move in, and all the stairs!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!




Put the corner moulding on the stand today. All its missing is the doors now. Family is leaning towards wanting sliding doors, so we will see what happens.

Got the tank to the garage, then my dad gave the back a coat of black paint. Not that there was any room in the garage.... but it worked out in the end. Me and paint clearly don't mix so it was better that he did it. I still have stain all up my arms from yesterday... It doesn't scrub off very well....

Even managed to get the hole in the top of the stand in the right spot for the plumbing

And yes I all ready know I'm crazy, and this thing is huge. Somehow it ended up being taller then me.... Oh well. Its perfect viewing level. And we have vaulted ceilings so its really not that bad.

Tomorrow will be plumbing, sand, and rock. I still need a sump....
