Yep. FINALLY!!!!! 
Now I have the holding tank so I can get started on the backgrounds for the 120g and the 300g this week. Longest two weeks ever
I traded my 220g for this 120g, a pump and cash. I had two weeks to free up my tank, I gave the buyer the same two weeks to free up his tank. I felt bad. All in all it was a really fair deal and he now has a show tank. My 220g was flawless, I just didn't need it anymore after setting up the 300g and now I got a 120g project tank I'm stoked about.
It took two trips to get everything here. I always take out plumbing/bulkhead fittings from any tank I move. If the weight of the tank shifts around during transit, you can scratch, crack, cause a leak etc.. and end up having to buy new plumbing pieces.
I almost got away with the stand and tank in the same trip but it was 1.5" too wide for my suv. The stand sucks but will hold up the tank for now, and will make a workbench or something later.
If you don't have moving dolly's, buy them. Cheap wood and caster wheels save so much effort.
I am putting the tank right where the 220g was. Good temporary spot until I build the new stand..
The guy told me I will never get that algae off the overflow towers and if I am going fresh water, the tank is shot... The algae is on the back wall of the tank so a 3D background will cover anything I can't clean off.
Anyone haven any ideas how to remove this stuff from plastic if possible? I am cutting these towers off the tank but have a use for them elsewhere if I can clean them up.
The front panel is nice and clean and there is only a couple algae spots on the side. That's why I was so pumped on this tank. It's going to take an evening of effort to get clean but get my favorite background goes in this tank. I have the tank on it's back right now so I can clean it easier.
The background on this tank is 60" wide and is sitting on top of the tank right now. The tank is 48" wide so I will be cutting the background down to fit. I would like to leave the tree (the thickest part) in the middle. Or would guys move it to one side so you only have to make one cut? I haven't made up my mind on that one yet.
Part of the 220g trade was I get his pump. It's a GenX PCX55 pump. It a little small for the 300g but will make due until I decide to upgrade.
Jose you gotta go 3D on the new bettta show tank bro 
I have to try one just cuz it's a tiny classic, I love the classic's lol.. This will all change this weekend when I plant it. I have a wall mounted T5 that should be here by Saturday. The plants will be 90% of the bio for this tank. The water was still really cloudy from adding the sand. It's white Quickrete media sand. Very fine but a nice bright white color I like. All my other tanks have Lapis Lustre.
If I time things right I figure I can rotate my stock through each tank and renovate them one at a time. Then maybe the daemons and ferns will quit whining about their austere home.
