New 180 gallon thread......

[Chefken]

I am getting a 180 gallon glass tank and setup this sunday. Been gathering some needed items.....shims to level, sand for the bottom and this killer pc of Mangrove currently soaking in my yard. Dont have a tub big enough to soak it all at once. Check out this beast...weighs like 45 lbs!! I will update sunday after the pickup and basic setup...might let his wood soak a week or two first.

Good looking wood. Can't wait to see it in the 180. Also how's the search for helpers to get the tank?

More the merrier!! I have 4 or 5 guys lined up to help with the stairs. Big Kahuna is going to help me pickup the tank as well. Seems like an awesome guy.

grab it while you can! I got this one 50% off by accident. Still not cheap but much less then it was marked!

The price is what has kept me from grabbing it.The hunk of wood is over a hundred bucks!

yup.....this one was marked 165. I did not see the folded tag and asked the owner how much.....he said 100 and I ponied up. Got home and hosed it off and found the tag. Really expensive high class shop in CT

I was wondering if there were any nice shops up there.
