Here are a few shots of the tank as the plumbing was getting finished up. There are a few things which still need to be plumbed in before it is ready for delivery.

The tank will have an open top, no canopy. I bought all of the equipment and had it shipped to the factory for Franz to get all of the plumbing put together. Much easier to have it done there rather than trying to do it all in the house.

Here are a few more shots of the tank being moved into the house. They were doing a great job while I was busy doing all of the hard work taking pictures.


Tight fit in the doorway, but made it through.

Going down the stairs was the hardest part. So they were telling me.....

UPPPP....
I know you have the tank sitting on the stand in your basement. It is the only logical next picture after the pic of them taking it down stairs...
More Pics, More Pics, More Pics!!!! :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

The are Lifeguard canisters, mechanical, chemical & 40 watt UV's. I have them on my other systems and they seem to do the job. It was going to be easier to keep the filtration uniform with my tanks.
