Parker's 265 Build - Thread Retired

[Parker]

Well the new tank has been ordered, should be here in the next month or two. I went with glass, the more I thought about acrylic the more it scared me. I know for a fact I would scratch it. I'll have to find a few people for help when the time comes, but it only has to be moved once.

Anyways, here is the final drawing for the tank.

Two months??? *lets that deep breath Ive been holding out*. Well the drawing looks good.

I should draw up all the equipment and paste it all on the wall. It would be cheaper!

Well once the tank comes in and you need a hand getting it in, i dont mind helping just let me know. you do have alot of holes in there. question, if the old tank you couldnt get it out, how are you going to get the new one in?

I'm not sure I can explain it right.

The counter top comes within less then an 1/8" of the glass and the tank is counter sunk. The trim on the old tank sticks out farther then the gap I have so I can't raise the tank out. The new tank is being built a 1/2 smaller and with no trim.
