LOL - I can have my door paynes off/out in under 90 seconds these days!

 

There's a WHOLE lot more landmines out there than that!!!   My most difficult thing was getting an empty 1200 pound glass tank lifted up so where it'd slide over on the stand. Took some real shade tree engineering to clear that hurdle!!  The thing better be going on a slab foundation too - not pier&beam unless it's beefed up - cause full, your system will weigh from 6500-7000 pounds....And don't forget to fill it with tapwater and leak check it good - like a couple days worth...any large tank - once set up in a "new" place may develop a leak once filled up,,,,,and ANY leak with that much water can be a REAL problem - like flood the whole house problem....

 

Am SOO following along - just to see how a REAL pro does it!bigg.gif

It'll work fine till ya begin filling itthumbsup.gif    Then, you're gonna meet several neighbors - some of whom may be a little mad

 

Are you having someone deliver it and get it into the house? If so - can they level it? or do you know the spot where it's going is level alraedy?
