Finally got my new tank!

[Starfish]

Hi guys!
I finally got my new tank. It measures 72x24x28 and holds 750L.....The
second i put the fish in they were soo happy and exploring every corner of
the tank!!!

It was really hard to get the tank in....it was sitting on my parents
friends truck for 2 days before we could get it off...4 really strong men to
get it off the truck into my room......damn it was heavy!!!!!

It was really nerve racking driving with a 6ft tank and stand on a 1978
mazda 3 tonner truck for 4 hours up the range......we thought it was going
to conk out going up there!!!!

Ill try and put the pictures up somewhere to show the size of the tank....it
has no gravel and a few potted plants.

My boyfriend bought me the new tank for my birthday too...

Uh...

Have you evaluated if the floor will support it when it is filled with
water??? That's like 1500lbs of water...

Thats one huge tank. I sure wouldn't want that thing to leak!
Good luck with it:)

Of course i made sure the floor can handle it!!!!!
Single story brick home on a huge concrete slab.......im not stupid to put
the tank on a wooden floor...im sure the house itself weighs ALOT more than
the tank.....
