well I went to the LFS today they have been holding my 90 gal tank there for about 7 month now we still are not ready for it in the new house but I figured I better get it out of there storage area, so I get there and the owners wife and I carry this thing out to my van if you would of seen us trying to get that thing the back of my van you would have split a gut but we did it!! it almost didn't fit but we did it..
I will start my build thread as soon as our new house gets taped and the sanding is done..

here are a few pics of it in my van
now the main question is how the hell are we getting it out my husband is going to crap and say "I can't believe you got it in there LOL... I'm a determined women


it's sitting snug up on the wheel wells in the van





YES THAT IS MY HUSBANDS TRUCK IN THE BACK GROUND , BUT THE TAIL GATE IS OFF RIGHT NOW AND IT STILL HAS THE HITCH IN IT FOR OUR 5TH WHEEL CAMPER, SO i COULDN'T USE IT

 
if I can't live by the ocean I might as well have a piece of it with me all the time

I could have put them on the HOOD LOL, but I think the local police would have frowned on that
