5' Tank Problem

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It's done! (= Got 1 super strong friend to help out. 2 people did the job! My friend literally has the strength of a few men. Thank god for that. Anyway. I placed cardboard to cover the base and sides and used masking tape to secure it. Both of us wore combat boots(the ones with the piece of metal at the front to protect your toes...something like safety boots) just in case the tank was to slip. Slowly slid it down 2 flights of steps with the both of us using our body weight from the front to prevent it from crashing down the stairs. 15 minutes later, all done.

I did try the suction cups but it kept sliding off the tank when we tried to lift it.

Thanked him and got him 2 bottles of Heineken. It's either he's super strong or the Heineken really motivated him.

God damn it. Australians are strong people! He's Aussie!

Thanks to all the fellow MFKs who gave me ideas. They really helped. THANKS! I'll post some pics as soon as the tank is up and running. Will be filling the tank with water a little later. Gonna cycle water first.

It would definitely fit though the door, but I'm placing it outside my house. Gonna make a DIY cover for the tank with a little door so I can lock it to prevent god knows who from stealing 'em fishes - also so that the fishes wouldn't jump out. Missing giant snakeheads are not gonna be fun. Especially since they can walk on land.
 
well whatever you do be careful, itd be a shame to do all that work and crack the tank......
 
yes yes post pics please!
