Now what?

[aztecdreams]

Picked up a new 380ish tank,stand,and fuge. Doesn't fit through the door 36" wide tank and only 30" doors. So I'm sitting in lawn chair looking at my new tank out on the patio.

 

[aztecdreams]

Now with pic!

If I lived closer I'd sit and drink beer with you... Lol time for a small house Renovation? "But honey, it'll add value to our home.

 

[J.guokas]

Time to add a French door. Haha

 

[rplank]

Are you keeping the tank?

 

[aztecdreams]

Are you keeping the tank?

I'm not sure right now. Even the stairs to the basement are only 35" without the handrail

 

[SkyShark]

Oh man! Guess it's time to upgrade the house to fit the tank

 

[BrianH]

Im sorry it doesnt fit, that is a major bummer. Have you thought about taking out a window or cutting a hole in the side of the house? It sounds extreme but isnt unheard of. If it makes you feel any better, one time I bought couches that I couldnt fit through the door of my house. You only make this type of mistake once.

 

[Balz3352]

Window wouldn't be too terrible to deal with... Depending where the tank has to go after

We could lift the roof off of the top of your house, then drop the tank in from above, and reattach the roof. We actually did that to install a new filter at the swimming pool on Whiteman Air Force Base.

Enclose your patio and you have a new fish room

 

[charleshardy5]

Damn that's a big tank, super bummer man.

 

[Craigar]

Man that sucks if I can help in any way let me know. Or if you get rid or it or anything that came with it let me know

 

[aztecdreams]

Wife is not happy with me and a sawzall around the house so it looks like its going to be up for sale real soon

 

[19TheSaint75]

No sliding glass door on the house?

 

[aztecdreams]

No sliding glass door on the house?

Nope. Back door is 32", stairway is 35", and doorway at the bottom of the stairs is 30"

 

[aztecdreams]

Maybe someone will have a tank to trade?

 

[quillin35]

I cant really tell from pictures but could u cut the sealant and move it in pieces and then reseal it.

 

[aztecdreams]

No sealant its acrylic. I wonder how much it would run to cut it down to like 28"? That might be an easier way to solve my problem

 

[quillin35]

yeah that would be the easiest way to fix it. what's holding it together?
