Re: Look what the New Year dragged in!

The rollers I have (I never throw anything away) came off a king size waterbed frame if that helps you make your accessment.

Re: Look what the New Year dragged in!

sounds like they should be able to hold the weight, depending where they were on the bed

Thanks, Loretta. I'll look it up on MapQuest and maybe if I leave a day early I'll find it before the meeting is over.  

Looking forward to it.

Welcome!

Like CF so richly put, I think you'll be fine with the rollers for the 2 tanks, they did hold up a few more gallons when under the waterbed!  :wink:

Re: Look what the New Year dragged in! And more questions.

Loretta, thank you. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and picking up new information, etc. Do I need to bring anything?

Just had someone give me a tank she thought might be a 10H. Well, I got it home and measured it. It's 20L x10W x 24H. That has to be a 15-something, doesn't it? Can you get these tanks recut? And it filthy......is it OK to use steel wool or a razor to scrape the gunk off?

According to the calculator its 20.7 gallons.

Re: Look what the New Year dragged in!

The Tank you are describing is called a 20g X-High, its outside dimensions should be 20 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 23 3/4.  It has the same floor dimensions as a 10g therefore when you are looking for lights/tops or anything else for it this is the tank size you will be looking for items for.  In principal the 20g X-high is two 10g stacked on top of each other.

Re: Look what the New Year dragged in!

I just spent all day in my workshop building a new stand for the 55 gallon I'm getting this weekend. It's going on the bottom.

The second shelf is to hold a 29-30 gallon tank I haven't gotten yet, and the top shelf is to hold 2, 10 gallons. This 20 g X-H isn't going to work unless I can get it cut down to the size of a 10 or trade it. Of course, I didn't realize all this until after I had cleaned it. LOLOLOL

Anyone have a 29-30 gallon (used) for sale?  And can I get this 20g XH cut down?

Re: Look what the New Year dragged in!

I'll trade you the 20XH for a 10g and $5. Just thought I would throw it out there... I've got a couple 10's sitting around that I am not supposed to put water in. I also have a 30 gallon XL available.

PM me if you are interested. And welcome to the box, sexy at 61.... umm... I mean... sxyatsxty1  :)
