dang...can't go wrong w/joey's set up! look 4ward to seeing the updates

The set up is great. It really was pretty much a plug and play. However, it's the garage (and the great landlord :screwy:) that's causing this to take so freaking long! Oh well. Once that tank is up, that stupid car will be trapped behind 600 gallons of water until we move. His choice. His problem. :)

"Harbor Freight" has them for 10bux a pair
for the "250lb capacity ea" set...
and they work just great when moving large tanks, no pinched fingers and everybody can get an excellent hand hold....:thumbsup:

Ah, good old Harbor Freight. I will definitely be hunting these down as I don't think getting your finger stuck between this tank and the stand can really be defined as 'pinched'. :WHOA:

We can't take credit for 90% of the plumbing. R1_Ridah had it all setup so nicely. We added a union, a new ball valve, cut some stuff down for size purposes, and had to make it work for us in its new location. However, it came pre-engineered for us, and we were throughly impressed. (Eric is a total perfectionist when it comes to project stuff, and it met his approval. For anyone who has worked with him, they know that really says something).

Our next big hurdle is getting a crew together to get it on the stand. I currently have 4 guys agreeing to help, and probably a 5th. According to calculations I've found this tank weighs between 600-650 lbs. I'm thinking we will need at least 6 guys to get this done safely. I also would really like to get those giant suction cups to help move it.
Id be down but your in so cal right? Also when we moved our shop into the new building we used those suction cups I believe we rented them for almost nothing from "Cat" I believe. We ended up buying some anyways down the line they are really useful for moving large setups so id say get a few its worth it :)

Thank you, but yeah. I'd say you're a 'bit' far. ;) I'll check out Cat too.
 
Looking good!
