(Scroll for unfilled tank shots, will update as progress is made.)
Well I don't know the for sure size, but eh I just had fun picking this beast up. He said it was all working well, though with the move you never know, plus it has been sitting dry for a while.
To pick it up it was a pain... I actually left a 150 gallon rubber maid since I don't have room, and a bunch of other stuff. (IE skimmer that had seen better days and other salt water stuff I couldn't see using.)
Of course this tank stand, canopy and everything else was pilled into an old gmc truck. Not made for that weight at all... But it worked. (~40 mile drive, 1 trip.) The stand actually wouldn't fit fully in, and it was a pain getting it out of his house. (5 guys, but steps, and for some reason we didn't have a fun time with it, plus I had to wait ~1 hour for his friends to show up to help get it in the truck.) Anyways when I got home I didn't have to change levels and 4 of us guys easily lifted it a whole 2 feet onto a cart that I picked up from the lab. Then it was easy as pie. (IE we only had to move it a good 2 feet again and only down about 3 inches.)
Now this was a salt tank, so I am trying to decide what to do. I have an Fx5 that I might pull off a tank and move around filters, and then I could cap off the drilled holes for now. (I grabbed his huge ass pumps, but I really don't want that loud thing running in my place. He had it pumping from the ground floor up to the 1st floor. It was a nice setup, just not right for fresh.)
And just so you know I am planning on moving my African Cichlids from my 130 into this tank, and then my Discus into the 135. But I want to do this right so it will take a while.... (Plus I don't even know if I dare fill it fully for now...)
Oh and if you are in the Atlanta area and needs bio balls, and a nice drip system, send me a pm. (I don't know about the pumps I might just keep them.)
(PS I can't reach the dang bottom of the tank. Ugh this is going to be fun cleaning and setting up.)
