I know this may sound bad but I felt the same I did just before my kid was born, I had a hard time sleeping last night and was freaking out. The moving company (McDougal & Son Moving) did awesome and once it got in place I felt a million times better and now have a smile from ear to ear. It really has to be seen in person to do it justice, its just crazy huge. We'll definitely be talking soon, livestock planning to do. I may also get you to help me out with some aquascaping.

oxx155 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Congratulations! That tank is huge. Can't wait to see it done. Thanks. Next comes water testing for leaks (knock on wood), but I may not have any actual livestock (fish and corals) in it till the new year. We'll see how it goes, taking my time, doing it right.

reefnjunkie Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 That was a great day to not be a mover-nice looking tank FWIW, if you click the "quote +"(plus sign)" in the lower right corner of the post you are going to quote, (and do so on every post you want to reply to) and then on the last post you want to reply to click the actual "reply with quote" it will quote everyone you are replying to in a single thread-(clap)(if any of that made sense-DOH!) It took me 2 years before someone pointed that out, and it was on Reef2Reef that they mentioned it-not on this forum-(laugh) Anyway, it'll save you a TON of time.

oxx155 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 What type of clams are you using to secure your UV to the wall? Did they come with the unit or can you puchase them locally? You can purchase them at Jerry's, I forget the name right now, but I will try to find out for you. You can probably get them at most hardware stores. They are made to work in the rail, you can loosen to move up/down, then tighten back up for a strong hold. Nothing came with the unit.
