Well I finally got the tank of my dreams. Upon permission from the Godess herself. Mike delivered it on Saturday and boy is it big. I didnt have much time to work on it Saturday just a little cleaning. I was working on it most of the day on Sunday. I put the wet/dry together, installed the panels, installed most of the bulk heads and checked those for seal leaks, put my Manzanita wood together and put on the canopy. I still have to have the cabinet maker come and finish the canopy since I am going to make this a room divider tank similar to my 140G. I also have to have him install some panels on the back of the tank so you dont see the stand on the back. I need to remove the black paint on the back of the tank, finish the last bulkhead, pour substrate and plants, and finally fill the tank. I hope to have this done by Tuesday but we will see. Here are some pics that I have so far of my progress.
This one is for Nick since I know he wants to see this.
Me cheesing
We originally had Mike setup the tank on the right side of my living room but didnt like the way it looked so a couple of friends helped me move it to the other side. Actually it wasnt that bad considering the tank weighs about 700lbs. It was harder to move my 140 out of the way.
