TheOceanTraveler Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Sorry no new pics until tomorrow. It is all disassembled and ready for the movers. Sit back and relax. This build is going to be slow. I want to enjoy every step. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOceanTraveler Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 The scheduled movers show up with 3 people. I sent pictures, weight of glass 1100lb., tank size. They push on it a little. Then bailed. Called Army Ants I used them to move Richards 220. Told them I have to have it moved today. A couple of hours they show up with 6 guys. The 2 that moved the 220 were there. This is before we took it apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOceanTraveler Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks to my HERO Roman and my good friend Rebecca for coming to my aid on Sunday when all I could see was mountain and Army Ants for saving the day and getting this monster moved. Now comes the fun part. Let's build a reef tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Man, I'm so jealous. I would have pounced on that tank in a heartbeat if I had a wall large enough for it. A thousand wishes come true. Best of luck on this build. I'll be interested to see how it turns out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
