They came with a 265 I was going to buy, and he had agreed to Foster them for us while I got that tank back running etc. In an odd accident, the seller has offered to bring it to me, and ended up cracking the bottom panel so I'm looking at a couple other tanks in my budget for upgrade this week. Not a 265, but a 220 will do the job. Stand up guy for sure!!look forward to continued friendship
Glad they are ok...let me know if yur interested in my tank
They are I good hands. Do you have any photos of the tank by any chance? Just curious so I can show wife
Thanks! Wife sent me a link to a 220 a couple towns over from us. Alot closer than the 265 was. Going to go look at it tonight and see. Would fit on my current stand I overbuilt for my 125, and re use that same sump.
i had wanted to move the tank across the room, and such, and a full system would of done that, but this ones well below my budget, and if its as nice as it apppears to be. ill be rocking and rolling, and ready to introduce my puffs again in a few weeks. we will see. its a step in the right direction. Gives me breathing room for extra flow pumps, sand, additional salt etc
Well thanks for the kind words, but not needed. This is a great experience for my son. He loves puffers and they are gonna get spoiled for sure lol. He might also get to learn how to trim teeth. The stars and stripes seems to have not gotten enough hard shelled stuff to file them down. I am going to stop at publix on the way home and get some mussels and clams for him to naw on and see if that gets them worked down a little. They aren't horrible yet, and it can still open it's mouth and get food, but for it's size not near enough room as there should be.
Thanks good sir! Then once I get them back, I can. Continue that for them to keep them going and trimmed. I fell in love with those guys for sure! Glad he gets to experience it too!
I'll take some after work. I have been busy with the family, so sorry for slow responses
Now worries. My wife ended up sending me a killer deal on a 220 about 20 minutes from my house. Steve and I went and picked it up last night.
Furniture dollies and muscle lol. Also helps to have a huge entry door to back the truck directly up to lol. The latter was the best part.
Supervisory skills are huge!! I tried to make load in as easy as humanly possible.
I think after watching a 265 crack about 25 feet from the stand, I learned alot. Firstly never underestimate the weight of any tank, stress on seams, and always take your time. No matter how tired you get, make sure your head is clear. Furniture Dolly's really are your best friend.
