Good News, they tank is on the way!

Hope you are excited as I am.

After all the changes, delays, and head scratching the tank should be delivered tomorrow afternoon. I will try to take pictures of what I can. The home for the tank is not finished being prepped, as I was expecting more lead time on knowing the tank's arrival. That said I will have a busy week getting the wall opening and stand leveling properly prepared.

Does anyone know of a store that would carry composite shims? I guess I could buy a composite deck board and slice the pieces to the exact width I need, does anyone see a problem with this for shimming the stand?

Well until the next post I will be a busy bee.

Here are pictures of the tanks' delivery:











I did find one small defect while inspecting the tank after unpacking it. It is a small wafer thin chip that is near the joint of the overflow to the end wall of the tank. I do not think this will have any physical affect on the tank nor a viasual one. What do you guys think, I have sent the pictures to the manufacturer also. the second picture is the actual piece laying on the top.

    Awesome! Remember, lots of pictures for those of us that can only dream of a tank that size.

    Awesome...well except for the chip. Hopefully someone with more experience will be able to say that chip isn't a problem.
