| Golden Moray | Cat's 90 Gallon Toy A few months ago I announced that my nephew had given me his 90 gallon tank , stand, lights, and all the trimmings. Although I am going to say it was free we all know how "FREE" goes. Let's just say I didn't have to buy sump, lights, skimmer, or anything else. He even gave me things that he some how accumulated and never used. Well anyway the tank is now here sitting in my driveway. The tank will make its way into the shed until I figure out just how long I am going to live here, after that is decided the tank will either be moved again into my new house or will be moved into this one. I really am hoping that I will have bought/built or even found and decided by early 08. Anyway I have a new toy and am excited to see what I am going to do with this tank.. kind of sounds like the 24 gallon mystery pod, huh? At this time I don't know any specifications about the tank as I haven't had a chance to really look it all over just yet, that will happen tomorrow for sure because there is a lot of cleaning that needs to be done to it. Until then here are photos of the "toy's" arrival. The stand is quite heavy, it is a stone type texture. I have no idea what it is, but you certainly don't want to brush against it because it will scrape your skin up.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

| Sunshine Reefer ![]() | Re: Cat's 90 Gallon Toy Very nice! You know who to call to help you shop. ![]() Speaking of, isn't it about time to stock that pod? By the time we finish that you can set up the 90. Then you will be an official 3 tank addict. ![]()

Thanks, Heinz. I’m excited although it will be awhile before it is set up. *sigh* Quote:
![]() Thanks…I like it. Quote:
Pre-Christmas is right…a new toy , I like new toys! Maybe a pre-anniversary gift too, that would have been in 9 days, a pre-Thanksgiving gift too. Wow, I get a BIG toy for all of them, this is cool. Do you think I should wrap it, put a bow on it and act surprised when I open it? Yepper, certainly know who to call. In fact, I am thinking about going to HR today. Don’t know yet for sure. I want some pods to throw in the 65 and need to get some cyclopzees too. I will decide in a bit, pm you, or call you if I go.

| Golden Moray | Re: Cat's 90 Gallon Toy Thanks, I like the stand too. It is very impressive when it is all set up. Has a touch of that “high class” yet very simple and beachy look to it. To me anyway. That stand weighs a friggin ton. Weighs much more than the tank. The tank was easily moved from trailer with 2 men, just needed a third to help guide onto the stand, but the stand took 3 men and they were straining and probably could have used a 4th.
