OH NO! I now have this premonition of Bronco pinning anything that goes wrong with this build on us nwdyr!

Even now that I feel it is too late to right this wrong, I will sit patiently on the sidelines waiting for Bronco to make his next move.

Well I'm sure its a relief having the glass now...
It's always fun setting up a new tank - but do you even have all the support equipment yet?

oh ye of little faith...i believe i have everything i need equpiment wise, i have to go buy my sumps but i'm using just rubbermaid so nothing hard to get...have both return/closed loops pumps, the light rail...two MH systems, extra powerheads if i need....gotta buy a couple heaters...so i think i'm good with equip...its the rock and sand that is going to suck...i have a few bags of Tropic eden already but i assume i'll be needing quite a bit more...the rock will be the worst part...but at least fun to aquascape
oh, and yes spanko, you two are now my scapegoats ...haha..i did get the sanding done last night, so just putting on a few epoxy layers and i'll be ready i think.

Watch, Rubbermaid will go out of business and all assets will be siezed and sold to the Chinese.

Hey Bronco,
Just wondering
You got any idea what this monster weighs now that the glass is in?
Not that I'm comming over to help you lift it.
( That is unless you need help
)
P.S. You must have a great wife,putting up with this project and all.

haha, i have no idea, the glass was around 160-180 alone...not sure how much the tank weights...probably a 2-300? it'll be interesting getting it up...i think most likely i'll have to do cinder blocks and work it up little by little.
