For the benefit of the UK MFKers would you mind sharing who supplied the tank? It looks nice either way

Waiting for a quote tomorrow to skim the floor then thing will progress, I've looked at doing it myself, but for peace of mind We'll get a professional in.

Ok, I've had a guy in to look at the floor, skimming it is and option but to be 100% level(even the self leveling stuff can be out he's going to build a supported frame on the floor to take the weight. This is being done Wednesday.

This weekend we need to get more piping for the filters are I had to cut them roughly to cycle on another tank and there just isn't going to be enough.

Also we need some suction lifters, not to lift the tank but just to take the weight of it so the cabinet can be move with the tank still on it.

First tank move is done, this will give the guy space to build the platform.

Only took myself and three others to move it, one of them was the wife and she was the first to admit she was no help. Two of use used suction lifters to grip the ends of the tank, to take the weight why the other and the wife moved it along the ground, mms at a time. It was very heavy!

A couple of shots of the tank moved:

Now for the fun part, moving it back and raising it up. I think 6 people will be needed.

nice tank man. Next time you move a tank try putting sliders underneath it. Makes pushing it across the living room or positioning it a ton easier.
