It's finally here (Moving Day)**

[Jchillin]

The tank and stand were delivered at 8:00 this morning. Other goodies have arrived and others are enroute.

The excitement that had been building is now at a fever pitch.

[Jchillin]

Yep, that's the 75gal.

im so happy for you JC


now, do you have a tank you dont need? send it to me if possible

 

[Jchillin]

Rudy, you are the #1 person on my list in that regard. That being said, this tank is the result of being an addicted AA member and suffering from the dreaded MTS. It is also much needed (well, maybe not "needed" in the size...lol) for the longevity of the 4 musketeer's and Mr. Cliff Gibbiceps.

That's right AA - You are responsible...have you no shame??? LOL

Rudy, you are the #1 person on my list in that regard.

when you said that you meant when you have extra tanks that are unneccesary you would send me some??

just trying to be the neighborly mooch

 

[Jchillin]

Since you quoted my statement, that is a fact. For the meantime, I request to keep this thread on topic as it will be a "progression" thread.

Thanks in advance.

LOL ok JC since im #1 on your list

when are you gonna fill it?

what type of tank is it gonna be?

 

[An t-iasg]

Wow, JChillin! It even looks pretty sitting there empty!! Can't wait to see it all filled up!

 

[Jchillin]

I'm waiting for some additional supplies (decorations, heaters, thermometers, etc.) The only equipment that I got today was the gravel and canister filter.

The tank will be a lightly planted cichlid tank. Plan is to move the angels and pleco out of the 30gal and add some German Rams and Keyholes. Some nice corydoras also. Plants will include anubias, ferns and maybe a couple of moss balls.

Jchillin, I share your excitement!
I'm in the same scenario, waiting for equipment to get started, just received my
Coralife units, YES!! and they were intact (I was so nervous about them being
destroyed during freight). They were very well packed, Good job Darin.

Can't wait to see more pictures of your tank, as it evolves! Enjoy!

Congrats J. I know just how you feel. The only thing is tank seem to look much smaller in pics but whatever.... good luck and don't forget to add the water before the fish.

This combines two hobbies at once! Fish keeping and amateur photography!!

I could post the original, un-resized version. Or, place something there to give some perspective....hmmm.

Wow, JChillin! It even looks pretty sitting there empty!!

LOL...my wife has stated I have until the end of the week to set it up or she will convert it into a spa.
