I'm glad you were able to see it.
Hope you can stop by sometime in the future.

Lori is coming Saturday with 5 people, so that should be plenty.

Once I do get a confirmed pickup date from OBD, then I will go down my list of prospects.

You better stock up on some Wheaties, Carlos. Moving that big of a glass tank is going to be tougher than that 180 acrylic of yours, LOL.

Be like Popeye and eat your spinach! You can move it by your self then Marty.

or just throw the cans at it, and move it in smaller pieces.

At one time, that was a very real possibility.

But thanks to Mike ( herefishyfishy ) he found someone who will take it and repair it.

Most importantly, move it out of the house.

I am ready for them.
The tank is empty and pretty clean.
I got a few gallons of vinegar and a new nylon scouring pad and crawled in it and gave it a good cleaning.
I'd heard that heating vinegar to a boil removes coralline even faster, so I gave it a try. Worked pretty good.
Only problem, was the fumes.
They were pretty bad. They still don't feel right.

Hey, when I was 22, I might have thought I could, but not at 62

It's big enough to be a coffin.
In fact that's what my wife said it could be when I first brought it home.

Kind of sad.

Yeah, there were atleast 5-6.
I didn't know any of them. But they talked about the BM swap and other current events.

Sorry about that, I guess I kind of screwed that up

I do want to thank-you again for putting us in touch.
