The only thing I can say is @tsmaquatics is going to love me when they see my orders, LOL!!! Hopefully I can do it in 2 batches, though it will take a lot of luck. I would like to add a batch of 4 to 5 wrasses, at least, and then a batch of 5 tangs. The tangs are more of a concern to me then the wrasses when adding them. I want to add all 5 plus, yes it is still open to how many, tangs to the new tank at one time to limit aggression. As of right now they have 3 and the other two, at least, are on the site, no none available, so to time it for all of the tangs to be available will take some planning. Due to the epidemic, or maybe TSM just has some weird hours, it seems to be a little hard to get them on the phone to discuss this. I took tomorrow off, a little vaca, so hopefully I will be able to call them and start opening a dialog to my plans.

And yes, I actually mapquested it, it would take 13.5 hours for me to get there, lol, so not an option I really want to take.

I will say that I have not had success with their "notify when available" entry. I just frequently check the site for availability.

Subscribed. Awesome build. Upgrading to similar sized tank. 72x32x22 or 84x32x22. Leaning 84. Can’t wait to see what you do with this!

I just did a water change on my 120 and 40b. As I have posted, I have moved most of the corals that I will keep to my 40b. I turned off the flow pump and return on the 40b to do a 25 percent water change and when I saw my @TopShelfAquatics Black Panther torch that is between 12 and 14 heads I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Without any flow it looked like a Troll doll. The tentacles fully extended just sitting their doing nothing, and the first thing that came to my mind was that it looked like a Troll doll, LOL!!!;Hilarious

WOO HOO!!! I just got THE phone call, my tank will be at my house this Friday.

I could have received it tomorrow, but since I have to take the day off, it might as well be Friday.

I got my first box of parts today. Ironically, it was from BRS, pvc parts as I order a plumbing kit, I just wish I could have gotten the points for the parts, LOL!!!

It is starting to get real. I have another package showing up tomorrow. I am guessing it’s the blue pvc pipe and such.

 

[Billldg]

I am hoping to get the tank and stand inside my house sometime Friday or Saturday so I can start the plumbing. It will not be in its final position as I still have to shut down my 120 and move it. The new tank has to go in the same spot as my 120, but I would like to start the plumbing. Even if it doesn’t happen, meaning moving the tank inside my house, I can still finalize and finish securing my aquascape.

Always something.

Trust me when I say I don't need any reminding, LOL!!! It should be here between 8-12 tomorrow. In a rush now to get some of my QT tanks cleaned and ready. I may have to pull the trigger on a Achilles tang sooner than later with Hawaii shutting down again. What is being shipped has doubled in price.

 

[Billldg]

Take a guess at what’s in my garage...WELL...besides the junk, LOL!!!

I opened up the box and checked the tank, the tank arrived with no cracks.

Mental note to myself, next time buy yourself something easier to open as a Christmas present.;Hilarious;Facepalm;Hilarious

I haven't inspected the seams yet, but from what I did see Crystal Dynamic Aquariums out did themselves. I didn't realize that because of the double upper bracing on the Eurobracing, it actually has a lip on it, thus I can get a cover created and not have to use any bracing or clips of any sort to support or brace it.
