lol I am trying! I emailed chris today about stand prices. I just wanted to see the cost of a few and if I am better off just shelling out the extra cash to have something look nice then to have it come out so so or worse. Supposed to be moving in on March 7th so its going to be a little closer to then. Need to get into the house one more time to measure a second time to make sure I am not running into some issue.
Hahah thats exactly why i waited (moving)
I kind of regret not having them build the acrylic skin that would have been sweet but figured i was way over budget smh.
Def talk to him about the stands i forgot why but the wood cabinet style would have been to big for my door frame. So we went with the metal.
Oh yeah freakin gate valves wont be here until the 13th...at the earliest.
I want to make sure I dont have a problem where I go "oh #$%&" A metal frame would fit nicely at 24 inches depth. I asked him to also look at a wood stand option that had the wood that went up the back side to hide the exterior over flows so I think that should fit through a standard door frame? Might be a little tight though
I dont need anything fancy. But those gates better hurry up!
Finally !!! I was surprised that the stand was shipped ontop of the tank. Man I had to change my draws watching it sway on the lift gate.
pacu mom
inspected it as best I could driver was totally cool about it. He was even helping me remove some of the packaging. Couldn't see any damage

What an exciting day for you! Takes me back to when our tanks came....all that anticipation..
Glad to hear you had a decent driver.

man I thought for sure the tank would have been cracked that stand on top of it jostling around on the truck lol is that how they normally ship them ?
I was gonna power through the set up but with an 8 1/2 month prego wife that's not gonna happen plus I wanna take my time and get this right. sitting in the garage now have to wait for movers to get it into the basement hoping tomorrow or friday
Call Chris and ask him if that is how it was loaded. I live in a fairly out of the way location, and multiple truckers were involved. Yours might have been reloaded to a smaller truck, in which case the tank might have come off the stand and loaded first. Chris will tell you if he loaded the stand on the tank...
