150g Tank

[Nick]

Guess who will have a new 150g tank two weeks from today!!! Thanks Jeff and Rob for pointing it out to me. I talked to the lady on the phone and she is holding it for me. It comes with all wood stand and hood, sump filter underneath, heaters, lights, and lots of extras. Im so pumped....Anyone want to buy my 90g

Very Cool Nick, I am glad that you are getting that tank. If you let me know when you are coming this way I might be available to help you load it if you need a hand.

Thanks for the offer. I might have to take you up on that. Im still need to figure out a way to get it yet. My dad has a trailer that I can use. I figure if I put a piece styro down for it to sit on and strap it down good the bumpy trailer shouldnt be an issue.

I'm still going to try and get a van though. When i've moved big tanks in the past a nice open cargo van is the say to go. The trailer makes me nervous though. I know it will be fine but i keep thinking about hitting a bump and the tank cracking.

Hey nick have you thought about a U-Haul van one way rental? It might be an option if you can't get a truck or van.

No I havnt...if I can do it for 50 I might just do that. nice and safe that way. Good Idea. ill look into it.

I moved my tanks many times in a pickup bed, but never used the trailer. As you mentioned, I'd be worried about bumps and flex leading to cracks.

FWIW, Home Depot also rents trucks by the hour. I've never done it and but have had friends do it to move furniture between apartments or when buying furniture on CL.

I'm in mount pleasant and have a pickup. Just pay for the gas, or we could work a deal for the 90

Maybe it was just Rob...Either way I already blamed you for it when I told my Fiance that I'm bringing it home in two weeks. LOL.

Hey Jeff, Maybe thats how I keep adding tanks to my house..... My wife thinks someone else is doing it and its not my fault...LOL..

[gmaschke]

You are well on your way to being in big trouble Rob!!!!!   I don't think she'll buy "it's not my fault!"

[Nick]

Sorry but im just really excited. Here is a pick of the tank ill be getting sunday. All the eq with it too...And next week is spring break...and I have a lead on some tropheus. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas before I know Santa wasnt real.

[Nick]

Tank is cleaned, pretested, and ready to rock!
The original pump litterally blew up the second I plugged it in so now I have a 1900gph pump attached with pvc plumbing up to a spray bar which I'm guessing is now pumping out around 1400+gph after half closing a valve....I even remembered the hole in the outake so I don't food the house if the power goes out. Pics and videos to come.
