The Time has come for Pizza, Beer, and tank moving!

Tank is in the basement!!!! Had to remove the stairs, a support column, vent, some plumbing and a few other things to get it down there. Thanks to Scott, Ken, Ben, and plus a few other non-club friends, we got it down in the hole. No one got hurt, and with a minimum off scratches. Really couldn't have done it without the assist of our awesome club members!!! Thanks guys!

Had to set the tank to the side for now, taking up half the room, and leaving the wrapping on it for now. Next step though, is for me to finish the tile on the stand, so I can get it in its final resting place.
Pics to come, but too freaking tired, and relieved, to fumble with that right now.

Ya we should have had one person be photographer, I was too busy trying to keep it from crushing you guys lol Especially you, since you were literally putting your back into it :tea:

LOL, I looked at picture #4 and thought that was the stairs that had to be moved out of the way......then it hit me, that's the freaking tank!!!!!!

 

[SynDen]

Haha, ya it looks a bit odd. Its still wrapped in paper and a few rolls of packing tape. Ill take all that off once its on the stand to protect it from scratches as much as possible.

Damn that's a big tank! If only I had a bigger window...

 

[SynDen]

Haha. Where there is a will, there is a way!! I didnt want to ever be one to say "I should have gone bigger", so I designed it to be the absolute max size I could fit in the space. An inch bigger in any direction and it wouldn't have been possible to get it down here. I spent many hours toiling over the dimension on this thing and still had a few unexpected issues trying to get it in, namely the stairs, but it is down here to stay now

You know your going big time when you have to remove elements of your house to get the tank in.
Nice job guys.
