These 2 pics say it all for me....once more you made me laugh in disbelief! All air tools I presume? You really are mental! And I love you for it!
I just got my 100US Gallon tank, lid and diy stand in the living room and my fiancee thinks I'M nuts, so I just show her what YOU do for your fish.
THEN she understands!
Mine won't be filled til my ACL reconstruction mends....

That was weird, the 2 pics of John and his son were supposed to go first...anyone know why they didn't when I loaded them first?

I would be VERY surprised if that covered it. The windows alone were something like 2K each. Pumps heaters, concrete, sealing... Beer...

Man, it's gotta hurt to hack up such an expensive chunk of material!
