The Beginning: 8/31/14
Somehow this idea stuck in my head that I need to get a HUGE aquarium. I researched for a week and BAM this appeared in my garage:
Of course there's more to the story. I found the stand on craigslist and I saw that the aquariums were on sale at my local fish store. I rented a truck this morning from homedepot and picked up both the stand and the aquarium. The aquarium was so heavy, I had to knock on the neighbors door to get help unloading into my garage.
The stand needs some rehab. I'm planning to sand, prime, paint, and change hardware.
My dog Marley was very impressed. He cant believe how big the tank is. lol
