Gee, a true money pit. We've all spent large amounts of money on our systems but atleast we have something to show for it. I was so looking forward to seeing the pictures and then what a bummer. Sorry it didn't work out.

We can go bigger if we do a in place build. Can anyone say 500g starfire?

Sorry to hear this!

Billy, what did you mean by:
"I also went there and the tank had two pieces of glass for the front show tank, very tacky.. and never told to me!"

I checked out the pics of the tank again and didn't see what you were referring to. I originally thought you meant "side by side" with a panel or something in between but couldn't see anything like this in the pics. Do you mean one in front of the other for additional support? If so that would suck!

That blows.

Any thoughts on what you are going to do now? Go with something smaller or just wait it out?

That double front glass thing was really wierd. The worst past was that in the top right was a smudge of glue or something between the panes that you'd never be able to get out. Not good.

The funny part was the guy and his wife trying to convince us that the 3 of us could lift this monster of a tank and move it. I've been on plenty of big tank moves and this one was just not going to happen. I could certainly understand their motivation for getting it out of there but he definitely needed to have a bigger crew available on his end.

Oh, and Billy owes Budget a bolt! ;) (I'll explain that one in person for anyone interested!)

The three of them could have gotten it easy. John just didn't want to smash another finger. LOL j/k ;D

Even with the expectation of a few blackened fingers I don't think 3 guys are going to safely move a 375!

Another guy and myself moved my 265 up 3 steps and about 20 feet and I'll tell you that was definitely the limit IMHO for a 2 guy move unless they are built like gorillas! Tanks definitely get heavier quickly as the glass gets thicker and thicker with each size increment (within reason).

Hey Billy, do you remember the one place I mentioned to you at my house that I had got a quote from (the place you mentioned actually)? Give them a call. As of a month ago they had 2 custom tanks that were available (buyer backed out) in the 350-450 range and were a pretty good deal for the money. They were both ready to be shipped. You would just need to make sure of stand and if the predrilled holes are what you need.

Moved a 125 from one wall in the living room to another with me and another guy and thought my arms were going to rip off. Still had about 2" of water and 200lbs of sand in the bottom of it. Sorry to hear about your wasted trip and best of luck finding a new tank.
