wow! nice billy- so you pickin this beast up from canada? I got my tank from them too!

 

[Carlo]

Is that a metal frame around the corners?

 

[billyr98]

i am not sure Carlo... i didn't think it came with metal around the edges...

but back to my tank... I used to get a 3 degree with the old 1/2hp chiller and now i get like a .5 degree swing in a day.. here is a picture of my graph...

A company called me a few days ago with a 820g tank with very close specs to what I was previously looking for at a really, really good price. When they sent me pics it have a frame on it so I asked if it was for transportation or part of the tank. It was part of the tank.

That made me pass, but is also what made me ask the question.

The guy I got my Fuge from was trying to sell me a small fork lift but I had to were to put it! Maybe the club should get one for things like this!

Very nice Billy. But what happened here? butcher

I have a concrete hole bore for any size hole if you ever need it in the future.

 

[mikem]

Is your tank being delivered, or do you have to pick it up?

 

[billyr98]

i need to pick it up from Pennsauken... so i need a truck.. any ideas

well i am getting ready for the tank so I supported the floors with 3 - 2x8s... and the backside already had 3 - 2x10s...

 

[mikem]

Just give me an idea on the date. You can stop here and leave your vehicle here and I'll drive up, then follow you back home.

Whoah. Cool columns. That should hold the floor for your next meeting!

Whatever you do, DON'T press the silver button!
