What are you doing today?

I received a TXT from a friend saying "🐠📫🚪".

After thinking a little, I understood " There's a fish in my mailbox at the door".

Whaaaaaaaaattttttttttt.... I get to the entrance and open the door and what do I find...

A 5 gallons std non braced aquarium filled with stuff... Alright ! that is cool.

Brought that in, and checked what was there. Besides a fake reef, a shipwreck, a couple ugly plastic plants and yeah a human skull... Loll...

Everything I ever wanted for a setup :cool:

As expected there was no filtering media as it appears that someone did an upgrade and kept it.

But the tank itself is really top tier. ultra clear glass. Black steel framed bottom. The silicone job is absolutely perfect, straight and very clean.

Interesting bit, there's also an Aquaclear Junior 610 in the kit. First time I see that one. They are pretty different and filter water from left to right, with 3 vertical baskets. I'm curious to see how that goes, because the impeller and motor are huge on this thing.

I already have everything else to set it up... Except the space :( I might have to make a little 3 tier stand soon :)
 
Sounds like you are going to have a very busy day a head you

Post pictures when you get it setup and running

Don't hold your breath.

There's already a tank right where the projected "currently non existing rack" is going. So I have to move this one, install the new rack, move back the first tank, then... Setting up the new one on top.

But it might go faster, as I seem to have found the perfect little adjustable shelving with very close dimensions to what I need.

With good plywood shelf added on, Self tapping screws at each corner maintaining the shelves to the frame and anchored to the wall. It's pretty close to perfect. I gauged 70 pounds per tank and this is at least good for 250 lbs without casters.

Ooopssss... It's coming in tomorrow. I may be able to take advantage of one of my buddy to move that this weekend.

For 53$ it simply doesn't make sense to make a lumber rack that would probably cost more at the end.

Here we go again.
