Not sure if any of you have noticed, but the midwest is pretty much a Marshland again, Rained so much I dropped a fish trap in my street, 4.5 inches rain yesterday alone.. Haters will say it is fake, but I got your first fish for this build!!
Welcome! Funny you should post this because my HUSBAND just came home with the same "problem". We just put money down on a 500G tank in a guy's barn! I wanted to store it until we built our house and made it part of the walls... Hubby wants it up asap! (And he's scrambling to study up on the things I've learned over years of mistakes)
I would agree with others that starting a build thread and reading Monster Tank threads will be very helpful, and save you money and aggravation in the long run. Starting a build thread early gives people a great place to follow your journey and offer advice and suggestions as you go whereas the Monster Tank threads allow you to see the way others have solved similar challenges and for you to ask them questions.
