Uggghhhh…is right John. So frustrating! Just when I thought things was growing, coloring and doing so well. Oh well, life goes on…then you build another one.

25 Mar 2013 225g (slow) Tank Build Update:

I found a replacement glass that is very affordable and the place is near by. Stay tune for the second rebuild!

Now I gotta find a way to get the tank out of the wall. No room to get it out from the back of the tank.

Finally good news!!

Please let the club know if you need any help with replacing the glass.

Or getting it out of the wall!!

If there’s not enough room to pull it out the back, I’d make the hole in the front bigger and slide it out, just plan on using wider trim when you put it back in.

I’m not too far away from you A. If you need some extra hands just say the word.

ditto

::thumbsup:: Glad to hear it A.

I will consider the coral and fish I got from you in foster care, just say when your ready for them back.

I’m glad to hear A, your situation def left a knot in my stomach :-("

Anything i can do to help just ask ::thumbsup::

Thanks guys. I will definitely be going out for a lending hand, since the thing is a monster to lift. Once I get the glass and cut out a portion of the wall to get the tank out. Once done I will be calling, but not sure as to when that will be yet though. Thanks again.

Any progress?

Glass is on order and will not be ready for 2 weeks. Thanks for asking Jason.

For anyone looking for glass or replacement glass Diamond state glass in Camden has lowest price around(around Dover anyway).

Any news A?

Well John. I do have the replacement glass, but something else came up to where I won’t be setting up the tank any time soon. With all this military budget cuts and sequestrations, it’s forcing me to find jobs else where. And only jobs that are out there right now for me is overseas. So, with that said I may be leaving here in the near future. The family will still be here and all the set up will be here and ready for when ever I’m ready to set it up again. Damn government!

It has been a long time coming! almost a year and a half! Thanks to Jason and Tim tonight with all the help to make this rebirth happened. Without them it would still be sitting there broke.

Please stay tune for the (slow) rebuild.

Awesome A, glad to see her back up on the stand. I know your pumped, happy for ya brother.
