Starphire aka Starfire aka Low-Iron Class is very clear and has no green tint to it - it also cost more but I plan on having this tank for along time

I was hoping to get the 55 gallon tank moved out of the spot that the new 180 will be in but I have a big presentation for work on Monday so I'm spending the weekend putting together the presentation - I hate it when work )@(#$)(@#&$ up the weekend

Fish Crazy · 05-21-2008, 02:52 PM

Time to get busy I just found out from Jack that the new tank is being picked up this weekend, so tonight we will start clearing the spot - We are taking up the carpet and putting down a new type of flooring that looks like wood but is a PVC product that snaps together and it should fair much better if water spills.

good thinking

Today was gathering day - we ended up a 3 different stores to find all of the plumbing fittings we need so I have all the unions, check valve, gate valves, elbows, etc to make the Durso Standpipes and everything for the returns.

It's starting to seem real

Plumbing is SO much fun. I've been thinking of using a can of purple primer as an air freshner.

Special Delivery by Jack and son of the new tank and stand (in order to get a picture of Jack I had to have the camera ready and take it before he realized I had the camera

)

Fish Crazy · 05-26-2008, 05:54 PM

So here is the new tank and stand sitting in the garage after we finally got it off Jack's truck

It was a very tight fit in the garage - we had to fit the tank and the stand and still get the Porsche in there as well - maybe I should clean out the garage some day He He

Here is the location for the new tank - we have to move the old tank and put down new flooring so there is lots of work to be done
