    Merry Christmas.

    Looks like the "go big or go home" plan. That is quite the tank, congratulations,

    Very nice find and an absolutely great price. Have fun moving that monster. Getting my 8ft in the house was not the most fun thing but it is so rewarding seeing such a massive tank in your living/working space.
    When I got my 36x18x18 tank, I swore that was as big as I would go.
    I've never been more wrong.
    Go big or go home.
    Can't wait to see the build.

    Holy cow. Now that's a tank. I am just doing the math on weight and in awe. Do you have a plan to get that where it needs to go? What kind of floor support do you have? Absolutely love it. Dreamy dimensions
