Going from a 60 to a 220!

Lsufiregal · 05/02/2013, 06:48 AM

So excited! Just bought an established 220 reef system! My son is going to flip out. He has no idea. We are moving it this weekend while he is at his Dad's house. I am so blessed to have an amazing LFS here who is going to let me house the livestock in his extra QT system. I don't know what I would do without my local club. Also please don't kick me out for being a Texan. I love this forum!

This thread has been moved to the current forum.

We hardly ever kick people out for being Texans. Congratulations on the great upgrade.

cgray07 · 05/02/2013, 11:45 PM

Hey you should talk to my wife! Tell her to surprise me when I get home! Lol

Lsufiregal · 05/02/2013, 11:59 PM

Ha ha. I will talk to your wife if you talk to my husband. I may have misled him by saying it was only slightly larger than our 60.... Oops!

Here is a picture before moving it.

You meant it was only slightly deeper...

Lsufiregal · 05/03/2013, 06:44 AM

And longer, and taller....

Thanks all. He is really enjoying it. He got a special package from THE Mr. Saltwater! I can't wait for him to get home from school!

aandfsoccr04 · 05/17/2013, 08:55 AM

What a beautiful tank. GO big or go home. Great looking upgrade and congrats

mwilliams62 · 05/21/2013, 06:02 PM

I am in still in awe how you managed to get the rocks back in almost the same way they where in the tank over in Beaumont before we moved the tank over to Houston. It was a fun day.

hoooop54 · 05/21/2013, 07:05 PM

Looks awesome!!!

Lsufiregal · 07/17/2013, 04:25 PM

Tank is doing great. Kyle is just loving it.

I made him a facebook page so he can share it. (I was tired of him begging to post pictures on my page.) He has 83 likes! He also made me create a logo for him.
