So this is about where my original thread ended and I never added to it.
Life got busy and the tank sat at my entryway for about 2 months.
Of course the wife had much to say about this, but I reminded her that she was the one who talked me into setting up a saltwater tank for her in the first place, which has lead to this addiction...
The 2 months gave me time to think about how I was going to set up the new tank and change the sump room.
So I organized the endeavor, had my daughters friends come by and help me out for all the food they had eaten over the years...
Of course I was not going to lift this sucker up by hand, so off to the rental store to pick up this...
What is this you ask? It is a Genie, material lifter. It will lift 600lbs 18ft in the air...I call it a blessing!!!
Needless to say I had to bring it up all the damn stairs! good thing it was a rental, cause I gave it a push down the stairs, when I was done with it. Amazing how fast one of those can go down 20 stairs...
