| done with 90% of the plumbing! Pvc is expnsive!!! I've spent close to $40 so far to get the overflows done. LEDs were supposed to be here yesterday but they got delayed so I wont have them till next wedesday. A little frustrating but I have some other lighting I can use until then.. Gotta find two more people to help me move this tank, anyone? I pay in frags or part a/b supplements (however much a/b you need) | |

| That's great, Eric! And, yeah, I know PVC gets expensive, and sucks that the LEDS got delayed... Nicholas volunteers himself for the task. I might be of help...not sure if I can actually lift an aquarium that big... | |

| Oral support? I got one of my other friends too so I'm thinking one more person and we should be ok. (4 of us total) I'll only be moving the tank about 15ft so it should be too big of a deal Huge thanks to Nicholas btw!! | |

| Aww man, that sucks . Sorry Eric. I guess that's one of the bummers of salt water; you usually don't have much in terms of remains or always find out what happened. | |

| You might just feel that way due to the length of the tank as compared to it being a cube shaped one. | |
