  • My new 225

    Traded my 125 tank and stand for this monster 225 tank. Built stand today and put it on there by myself if you could believe that.

      When I moved my 200 I had to use a dolly for it.
      I can appreciate how hard it is.
      Keep us posted on the setup with pics.

        That is HUGE! How did you get that on the stand by yourself?

        Now I know who to call when I need a pair of muscular arms! )

                  very carefully. I spent the morning building the stand, then took a break. Backed up the truck and pushed one end on to the tank. Then slowly backed up the truck and manuvered it the other half way , then slowly got it on the stand.

                  It was scarry

                    Don't know yet. Maybe the babies or something else. Depends on what kind of damage I do at the auction next month.

                      When I moved mine onto the stand. I put the tank 1/4 ways in front of the stand then pick it up ( not easy) pivot it on to stand. Then pushed with everything I had onto the stand.
