Our first ever swing at a website went live in Aug 2021 and now in Dec 2021 we'd like to introduce it to everybody.

Thanks for sharing victor! Going to look at the 4500g install section was curious how you set them up, looking at one myself if i can sort how to get it into place -

thinking track loader or tele handler vs crane ($)

These came in 4 sections. I used furniture dollies, come-along / manual winch, and automobile jacks to roll them from outside into the fish house (on plywood sheets) and lift and set on the stands. Then bolt and fiberglass together. The heaviest is of course the front portion containing the 8'x4'x2.5" acrylic window - about 800-900 lbs.
