Pgr11 & Shiftygirl's TRFS/ AA 265 UPGRADE

[ShiftyGirl]

HAHAHA!!!! Don't hate though. Just watch me spend all my money. Its a good thing I have an awesome Tax lady. She gets me back a ton of the money uncle sam steals from me. I was thinking the same thing about the tang swim room. We almost went 96" but it was just a little big for the space its in.

"Just watch me spend all my money."........HHHHAAAAA! What's mine is mine, what's yours is mine and what's ours is mine.

No really. Jason, John, Juan, Travis, Bobby Ray, Billy Joe, Timmy, Jim Bob, etc. are all helping us stretch our pennies. Much thanks to everyone.

Sorry should have said our money or according to that last post her money. I guess I don't really care who's money it is as long as it gets spent on the tank.

Ok guys so here is what is going on with the stand. I cut up all the steel a week ago and then it sat for over a week till today. I still need to put the center supports in and a couple gussets but the pictures will show you what's going on. Still working the light situation out still. Going to be ordering parts from Mcmaster tomorrow. Basically a shaft for the fixture to pivot on. Here are the pics so far...

Awesome looking set up, Chris. Going to be an exciting build. I'll be following along.

Yeah I'm jealous, I want a really big tank.

Careful with that acrylic tank though, one large scratch and your gonna be PO'd!

Thanks Matt im super excited.

HAHAHA I know what you mean, but one earthquake and I might be even more po'd with glass. You have pro's and con's with both. I lean towards acrylic.


Now with pics of the stand im even more excited to get it here and set the tank on it. :marchmellow:

Sexy mermaid pict left much to be desired. All I kept thinking: Fireball's going to kill us:butcher:; the boy's nails and the sides of the tank. aqulove

So what's going on with this tank? Last time I saw anything it had a Mermaid with two dog fish and a cat fish looking in.

 

[pgr11]

Well as of right now im just waiting for the stand to be finished. Looks like sometime next week if all goes as planned. Then the fun will begin. I will try for some more pics asap

Well as far as pics for right now I don't really have more. That tank sits as it did when I brought it home. Hopefully Travis will finish up the stand and get us some more pics of it before it goes for powdercoating. Once we get that we will for sure have more pics. I did pick up my pump a reeflo dart gold and a new rock here are some pics of them.

Doesn't this look sexy
