New addition to the Family

;D Well I pulled the trigger. Tenecor 135 in the house. My wife called me at work on Monday and said I had received an email from a gentlemen I had spoken to about 3 months ago. He was previously trying to sell the tank on Craigslist and I had inquired into the setup but he was asking way to much but told him good luck and keep me in mind if the price came down. I had not seen the add in months so I figured it was gone. Then he emailed me and said he wanted to give me the first shot at the new price before he tried craigslist again. Well it came down about a 1000.00 the first month, then about 500.00 more a couple weeks later. Well Monday he had come down another 500.00 and that was satisfactory so I went with the wife and kids to check it out today. Well one trip back home and a call to the mother and father in law and we had a babysitter and a helper and went and picked it up.

Let the fun begin. got the tank and stand setup in the living room and will finish setting up the rest of it tommorrow. A month from know my tang is going to be one happy fish.
