Hahaa not sure what to make of that comment...


They shipped the tank on the bottom, as it is the heaviest item, then a sheet of 5/8" Plywood across the top of the tank, then the stand and canopy. all on a big pallet.

The Overflows on all Marineland tanks are drilled for 2 x 1" Bulkheads.

with the dual corner overflows, i am going to use a snapper to return from the sump to the tank, and i have some of the new EVO Hydors, that are controllable by the Profilux, and a few MP40W's.

I'm guessing the returns are 3/4"?

So how are you going to get the forklift in your house to move the darn thing?!?! How heavy is it? My buddy and I moved my 180 to the basement and I thought I was going to die!
