Title: Tank and Stand Deals
Post by: thebbqguy on April 01, 2015, 08:49:52 PM
I have been shopping around for 75 gallon tanks and stands. I am guessing this is likely a pretty good deal ordering online for in store pick up, right?

So it's $350 if paid online & picked up at the store before Apr 7th?

Well. I am the proud owner of a new tank and stand as of a few minutes ago. I am waiting on the store to acknowledge the order and schedule pick up.

Before you know it you'll need a second tank for some other cichlids you want....

and on and on and on   ;)

Not as deadly as some addictions but at least as hard to control.

The tank and stand are now in the office of my home. I had it in my car and heading home within 90 minutes of placing the order online.

Tomorrow afternoon I'll set it all up when I am rested and paying close attention, but I need to get some sand first. I have everything else I need right now I think to start cycling the tank. If everything goes well I'll add some fish next weekend.

My wife is leery of adding another "fish" hobby. I do a lot of carp fishing, which is extremely addictive once you catch a few 20+ pounders. My best so far is 26 pounds 8 ounces. I'm strictly "catch and release".

That carp is my personal best caught near Lake Erie last October. I am definitely a carp fishing addict. I am in search of the elusive 30 pounder. Plenty of my friends have caught them, but they fish even more than I do.

Maybe this year it will be my turn.
