What kind of help are you looking for?

Advice?
Physically moving the tank indoors?
Gluing PVC?
Plugging things in?

Throw those pics up!

I don't know much about tanks of this size, but I look forward to learning as you move through the process.

You might want to consider starting a new thread in the "Large Tank" forum; lots more people there to chime in on this size thing.

Hey Wing, I don't think any wife would be happy with a bunch of stuff in the middle of the room. Haha!
