WOOT WOOOT!!

After a much anticipated wait I will be bringing home a brand new 75 gallon tank tomorrow night! Brent was out of town so I couldn't use the truck to bring it home so tonight we are deciding where to put it....

BUT I couldn't come home without a picture of my new beautiful tank!!



SO this is it in the LFS and I got everything I needed for $200 I'm super happy!

Tomorrow I'll be bringing it home and I will be setting it up!!

There will be lots of pictures tomorrow for you guys, I work in the morning but afterwords I will be sure to post them for ya'll!

I'm so excited!!

Have you thought about getting it drilled first? You really should, it will make things so much easier!

well i'm not going to use a sump currently.... the owner suggested what they have on all their tanks and they just used the HOBS and a protein skimmer... so when I get my paycheck in 2 weeks i will be getting a skimmer and in the mean time just using my HOBs

Wow the black silicone does look good, and very well done too. When I first looked at the tank I thought it was a part of the plastic trim

Yea he gave me the option of the black or the clear and the black looks a whole lot nicer IMO I'm so excited!! I'm trying to talk the parents into letting me put it into the living room so they can enjoy it while i'm away. its eventually going to be their tank because i think as of tonight and our few discussion i'll be moving to FL within the next year

thanks!

Since i'm trying to get it in the living room it would go great, my parents have built and designed all our furniture in here and its all black so i figured the black would be way better than the wood-grain
