pics of my free monster tank!!

[midnight]

its here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
had 8 people lined up,2 came up with excuses.lol
we moved stand and tank together.
wasnt to bad at all.
had to remove my front door to get it in
started to peel off the paneling on the frame and found a bit of water.
hope its just the bulkhead on the end.

the end is my grandpas idea,a monster pre filter.
i dont have the separators setup but you can see how many levels and media i can put in it.
im going to have to redo the w/d filter a bit to get it under the stand.
the stand is all 3x6's or 4x6".also im going to make sides for it.

gotta upload pics

also,not sure whats up with the silicone in one of the pics.
and im going to change out the alum corners.

Looks like you will have to catch the PBs in your parent's pond and rehouse them in the monster tank for the Winter months.

i thought about it but trust is right,
might as well see if they can survive a winter here.

Score one for midnight!!!!!! You are one luck man!!!

thanks

Awesome!!!. a heritage monster tank.
I'd inspect it very carefully...it's a big old tank and it's just been moved.
Good luck getting it set up for the aro.

I would love to take this project on! and you are a pro. You will pimp that thing way better than most of us even could Smaller mesh? Are you going to grow out fish in this? Or fill it with current monsters and grow new ones in the "old" tanks..lol Good on you bro I for one am a jealous (in a good way) man right now....

the overflow screen has big mesh.
i feed small feeders so they would just go right through it.
"im making this all up as i go like usual"
this is the stock list it will have.
my 22"+ silver aro
his buddy the jag
armored cat
maybe my pb,once he is bigger
a guy wants me to take a red snook off his hands
and plecos
then some smaller misc. fish.

the "old" tanks,all the fish will be moved up a tank size "get what i mean?lol"

lol Good on you bro I for one am a jealous (in a good way) man right now....

i been jealous of lots of tanks on here for a while.lol
after a long time looking and hoping,im up with the big dogs
then ya look in the diy section and see a guy building a glass 600.
back to small feeling
this is my last tank "told the gf that so i gotta stick to it.
after this tank the aro will go to a "real" pond or to a public aquarium.
"if he makes it that far."lol
