  2. The tank is on the stand

    Yesterday I got some friends together to lift the tank on to the stand. The estimated weight of the tank is 450lbs and not an easy lift for sure. To make it even more difficult we had to put the tank up at an angle in order to clear the garage door rail.

Well I have been in the aquarium hobby for the last 10 years but finally converted to salt in 2009. I still consider myself a noob since I still have so much to learn.
