Still nothing...when I get live fish it's always before 10:30...I'm going nuts. I took my nap in the livingroom chair...I know the dogs will let me know, but sometimes people are afraid of them ..poor things no snow play today, they have to stay inside.

IT"S HERE!
In one big beautiful piece!

The fellow even helped me remove the inside box to check it. Now I have to go and pet on it, and check out Shawns handywork up close...I'll be back soon




Oh Shawn it’s beautiful! There is a TINY bit of damage but it won’t hurt the sump. That wonderful piece where the hose feeds into the bubble trap has some small stress cracks, it isn’t all the way through and it won’t hurt anything and will still fulfill its purpose.

LOL…if you want the hassle of making a claim….that’s fine I have pictures, but I’m not giving it up and I’m going to use it as is with absolute joy. When I opened the box with the fellow here the plastic was folded over that spot and I didn’t see the damage before signing for it. This is what I saw when I opened the box with the Fed X guy there
Here is the small a aount damage after I got it out....

No big deal, I take responsibility on the crack!!!! You have to admit that was one huge box, and one heck of a package deal by Slice. I had to trim so off the foam, and that thing was cradled so tight in there. I was nervous putting it in the box it was so snug, but as Slice said would be. I want/need pics of all the goodies. Test fit the skimmer and PICs!!!!
PICS!!!!

LOL...I sure am glad the bag was on it...that's how I lifted it out of that box. Niether box had a mark on it, not even a dirty spot. I'm going to move my canister filters, and top off tank out of the stand but leave them running. Then I get to play tetris and figure out how to get this baby under the stand. Once it's all under there, I can set it up this weekend I hope...if I can wait that long.
Oh Shawn, then those little marks are a personal touch ...I imagined you looking like Mr. T saying to the Fed X guy " I pity the soul!"

I have to get the stuff from the garage and then set it all up to look at...so give me a little time and I wll have those pictures! ALL of it's here OMG I might not sleep for a week!

Picture time...The skimmer is all frosty from outside. I have to still put the skimmer together, it's just the shell here so you can see how it fits in the sump.

WOW!!!! Just shows what team work and a little dedication can do!!!! Again thanks to all!!!!
Flower to get the sump in you will have to stand it on end with the skimmer section/intake section on the floor, and the return section in the air, with the top facing to your left. You will have to start the return section in first, then lift up, and then the bottom should go in. Then you just have to lay it down into position. The Fuge shoul just go in; in the correct orientation!!!
Hope some of what I typed make sense

Oh it's beyond just looking very good..you guys did so fantastic!
Meowzer, I am a little disappointed in the sand issue. SWF won't let me purchase live sand using the credit I got from the dead coral. I have save that credit all this time just for that. I don't want to use my points until the new tank is ready.
I am going to order the sand here as soon as I help my mom put the grocerys away, she just got home. She loves to shop, even if it's for food. LOL
