A sight I love to see! Always a good day when a new tank arrives! Let me know how I can help along the way!

This will be a tank transfer. I moved my old tank to the garage a couple weeks ago. I’m reusing the rocks and sand. I have the old tank still running with my coral and rocks but I removed all the sand and washed it.

How does the shipping work? I've never bought a new tank before, just got it off craigslist. I see they bring a truck. Do they have a forklift or do you have to get a bunch of people to move it? Just wondering for the future. Planning on getting a 400G tank in the future. Still not sure if I'm gonna buy new or make it my self. I don't think Ill find a 400G on craigslist.

Redsea schedules a freight delivery to your place. The local freight company they chose should have a pallet jack to unload and move where ever you want to store it.

How old is the sand ? You might be better off using some not all

It all depends on what types tank and where u geting form I got mine at customs build they use 3rd partys trunks cost like 3-400 for the 150 gallon I think they go by pallet size. Some time shipping cost more than tank. My friend got the 280 gallon if I’m remembering right the shipping backing 1 years ago was. 1290 some companies offer free shipping witch’s awesome

Heck yeah! This is going to be great

LBCobra · Feb 28, 2019

I currently have 2 jebao wave makers. So far they’ve been great but they are a bit intrusive inside. They’re actually huge lol. Thinking of getting the Nero wavemakers what you guys think? I have AI 26s so wanted to stick with using the same app for both lights and wavemakers. Thoughts on them???

Man the Nero’s are nice! I saw try them out, unless you’re going APEX, then try their wavemakers.

Hopefully floors are done today and I can start assembling the stand tomorrow.

Looks like you have nice hard wood floors under your carpet.
Might just refinish that and return the pergo?

Well as last it's there if you ever decide to do that down the road.

LBCobra · Mar 3, 2019

Yeah it had hardwood floors all
Through out the house. Well atleast in the living room the hall and my daughters room. But my wife was set on the color of the laminate floor she picked. So after 12 hours I’m 80% done. Just need to add all the quarter round molding and some more trim pieces and on to the tank
