I was waiting until spring weather and after my honeymoon to set up the new tank- good weather made it easier to leave stuff outside for a while and not worry about it freezing or cooking!

I see, so you put your livestock in your outdoor tank while this cycled?
btw, do you have a thread for your outdoor tank anywhere? would really like to see that

 

[pgr11]

Love to borrow the lift when I'm ready to set my tank back up.
