    I FINALLY got to order my new tank!!!

    I am supposed to meet glasscages in Little Rock on March 26th to pick it up. I need some help moving it from their truck to my truck and then from my truck to the stand in my house.

    So here is the fun part... It is a 280! 72"L x 36"W x 25"H. I figure 6 people to move it comfortably. I have two of those 6 already lined out, just need 4 more.

    I am thinking some time around noon on the 26th.

    I would so be in on that, but I have a work commitment sampling fish on Fourche Creek that day. The dimensions sound awesome! Good luck.

    If you didn't live like 5 hours from me I would help for sure. But my wife works that day, I have two small children, and ten hours in the car for them is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad thing.

    Blake if you don't fill the roster I can help. My back ain't the best, but it is okay for short periods.

    Ok, received a call from Glasscages today. The truck is supposed to be at the Pilot truck stop off exit 161 on I-40 (Maybelline exit) at 3pm. This is the next exit after the I-440 exit on I-40 east. I am planning on being there at 2pm. Anyone who would like, we can share a ride. I will be driving my truck and Ljinks will have his truck. We are picking up a 135 gallon tank there as well.

    Friday is so close!!!

    Thank you to Sam, Kevin, Mike, and Nadia for helping get the new tank to the house. I have pictures to upload of the move and the tank in place. I will start a new tank thread with the progress of the build as soon as I can.
