That didn't appear to stress the fish out at all...

Wow... Truly amazing. MasterB and Rich... Both of you need to talk to my girlfriend and get her to like some fish already lol. Those cats are amazing and that tank in the background looks beautiful.

If I had the cash Id be thinking about a 300 DAS right now lol.

*** UPDATE***
hello everyone
the drive and the time there together was 31 hours
and i could not sleep the night before we left so add on 24 hours
so it was a total of 65 hours that i went without sleep,
now we left at 6:00 am on sat the 8th, it took 10.5 hours to get to
Medford, New York, ill post some pics of the drive there below

1. the car trailer that i bought and built a base for the tank to sit on as the tank was wider than the car trailer

2. both trucks at the gas station filling up, we had to take 2 trucks and 2 trailers for the tank and the stand,

3. heres a pic of the toll booths because it cost me over 170.00 in tolls there and back for both trucks
