Tank and Stand Deals

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?

[thebbqguy]

Yes.

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".

Damn that's a big carp!

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.
