When I tool delivery of my tank from Coast to Coast I was told not to let it get close to freezing or the silicon will weaken. I ran a heater in mine at 65 till I was able to move it into the house.
If my build ever starts ( a few delays on the home construction end) I'll need the boost for the last night plumbing and aquascaping sessions. I realize it's not as good, but just might need to have some decaf on hand.

I was interested if there is any espresso connoisseurs/home or pro barista's out there. I'm finally able to get a prosumer level machine (double boiler) and grinder. I've read all the forums and 101 guides, but I think I'll need some help in dialing in the grinder and just get a few pointers...

Building the light Box:
Tank in the living room
So now I have some space in the living room back (all our cabinets were store for 2 months there), I took the liberty to ask one of the contractors to help me move the tank close to it's final resting spot.
This was a lot heavier then I though it would be. Directly under the tank is...
