WOW! Can't wait to see this one. Definitely need lots o' pics. Karma to you for going to pick it up yourself. May you and the tank arrive back safely!

stilgore · 05-11-2007, 06:05 PM

Wow, that is one big project. My current project (96x24x30) has been a wild ride.

Are you going to have a seperate fishroom or will everything be under the tank?

Good luck!!

Fantastic Billy...Will you be able to sleep tonight?

Cheers!

billyr98 · 05-12-2007, 08:50 PM

well bad news.. i am home with no tank

2 things... i went there with a buddy to help get the tank out... and he had NO PEOPLE there to help him!! 1200lbs and no one!!

I also went there and the tank had two pieces of glass for the front show tank, very tacky.. and never told to me!

So I lost money on the airfare, and truck rental..

So money lost for an experience, i won't forget...

Let me know if anyone sees a large glass tank for sale in my area..

This stinks and its time for bed!

boozeman · 05-12-2007, 09:02 PM

noooooooooooooooooo!!!

I want to see a monster tank !!!
sorry to hear about your experience billy...Im always looking at large tanks, if I come across something in that size I will let you know

billyr98 · 05-12-2007, 09:09 PM

here is pics of my day!

this fork lift he had, was rated for maybe 1000lbs.. i said no way, i think the tank would have crashed!! so i walked away...

I also think the forks were 24" and the tank was 30"??!?!??! OH well!

panmanmatt · 05-12-2007, 09:28 PM
