Hard part over. At this point a lot of stress was gone from the whole operation





Ahhhh relief, glad that is over, was a heavy last lift to get it up onto the stand

Holey smokes, that looks like it was quite the tight fit down those stairs and the ceiling clearance. Can't wait to see it up and running!

I actually made a mock up of the tank out of 2x4's to see if it would work. First one was 96" long, and wouldnt fit, so i cut it down to 90" and it just barely made it. So it was a good thing i did.

Woowzers, nice tank! Yup, anything too much bigger than that, borders on site building territory. A round of kudos to the crew that got that beast in the house.

Sweet tank. Will be awesome.

But, seeing those pictures of the stairs and stuff ... brought back memories of wrestling my 280g downstairs. You just inadvertently convinced me that I'm never upgrading .. or downgrading for that matter. I am done moving tanks up and down stairs.
