SteveM September 21, 2012 Author Share September 21, 2012 Got more equipment in. I can't believe the size of everything from what I was used to. Talk about SUPERSIZED.... LOL. I also want to give a shout out to Phil and Reef eScape for all they help they have provided. I have also gotten ALL of my equipment thru them including the tank and you can't beat their prices. If anyone is looking for any help setting up a tank or designing a system I would HIGHLY recommend them. Thanks Phil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM October 19, 2012 Author Share October 19, 2012 Tank was delivered today. Thank goodness everything went fairly smoothly. Here are the pics.... Floor lifts in place. Truck arrives... (BIG truck) Tank in the rear of the truck. Tank was to long to just lift. Had to pull it out and leave it hanging out of the back to get to it from the side. con't........ Yup... that's the tank teetering on a pallet set on it's edge to hold the tank up until the forklift could get it from the side. I almost has a heart attack! Whew... got it in time. Around to the rear of the house. In thru the sliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM October 19, 2012 Author Share October 19, 2012 Onto the floor lifts. Rolling it into place. Nope, won't go in from this angle.... Had to move one of the floor jacks to the opposite side and line it up to slide it in from the end. Sliding into place... easy. Almost there. Ahhhh... made it. This is from the back side of the tank. The finished product!!!! A BIG thanks to Phil from ReefeScape for all the help and encouragement!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind January 20, 2013 Share January 20, 2013 Does your overflow have a box on the inside of the tank? I see a bunch of holes in the picture as well as a tooth surface skimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
