    Never again my friends

    Me, two buddies and one of thier wives just finished hauling my new 180g upstairs. Realizing that we could not manhandle it the way Nick does Thai we broke out a refigerator dollie. It is difficult to type with the tears in my eyes, oh did I forget to mention that the loaded dollie rolled over my exposed pinkie toe? I am now sweating like a hebrew slave and panting like two squirrels screwing in a wool sock, under a wood burning stove in Texas in August.

    When I move, if I ever move I will abondon this tank rather than move it. I will cary the fish away in buckets and set up a dozen 40g breeders.

    Now if yall will excuse me I am going to have some one with medical knowledge examine my pinkie toe.

    Should I have posted this in the diseases and disasters forum?

    180g - Petrochromis Macrognathus Dine/Tropheus Moorii Namansi I

        sorry to hear that Gene.
        i got the same problem, when we moved the tank from previous owner to my truck, it was a real pain for 3 guys carrying a 225g tank. so instead of bringing it into my 2nd floor apartment, i brought it to my parents' house garage. i may store it there to whenever i move out. SAD.

          This coming from Nick? Do you own footwear other than flip flops?

          BTW I had kicked them off for better by that point

              Yeah I hear you Tony. The next tank will be acrylic. The only reason I went with glass was because I could not afford the tank, filtration, lights, etc, and the fish at the same time. I am working against a deadline to be setup for an arriving colony

                Of course, I would have crippled ALL 4 of us before I allowed the tank to be damaged

                      +1!

                      This is why I have a major requirement for acrylic tanks.

                      Good to hear the new tank made it to its new home safely.
                      I ate my fish that died.
