    Online vendors vs lfs for a stock tank order?

    Thought about that, but worried maybe it's not cushioned or well stabilized after messing with the packaging. I wonder if there is a way to speak with the mfg directly.

    Logistics of receiving a large (120g) tank shipped?

    Hi, how do you determine if a wall is lost bearing. It's an old factory converted to lofts. I have a pulley elevator in my apartment as a relic to give you an idea. I was worried about this as well, but most people on rc seemed to think it's ok, I was told that given the LxW it spreads the...

    No carpet, I hadn't thought how that would be, even worse! Already bad ! Why did Mfg wrap together? Odd and really bad for receivers!

    Online vendors vs lfs for a stock tank order?

    They have it at Hidden Reef, do not deliver and suggest FOUR people to move it for safety given its cost. Tank and stand are wrapped together and nearly 600 lbs total.

    Online vendors vs lfs for a stock tank order?

    Well this is a direct ship from vendor no matter who you order it from I think. So I guess it'd just be who is getting retail commission from the sale. MD I spoke to days ago about shipping and still they haven't called me back. I think I might go with BRS if not a local vendor.

I guess once the stand is level there's just the one hurdle of placing the tank. I am a bit out of my element, my largest tank has been 55g do this...

    Logistics of receiving a large (120g) tank shipped?

    Hi all, So I'm looking at buying the Nuvo 120 SR, but it is shipped and pretty much dropped at your doorstep as I understand it, and it's hundreds of pounds between the tank and stand. Obviously my husband and I cannot haul this into the elevator and up to our apartment, I'd be lucky to move...
