Just sick! Back to the drawing board.

We drove 4-1/2 hours each way to pick up the used 240 gallon aquarium and stand we had acquired. I was so excited and so pleased with the equipment! It was a real struggle getting it loaded, but after about and hour and a half and 6 people helping, we finally got everything in our trailer and strapped in. We were about 50 miles from home and stopping for gas and decided to check on it and found the stand in good shape, but about 500 pounds of broken glass. I am just sick. Big delay now in getting my reef going needless to say. I guess I just have to look at it like at least now I have more time to learn as much as I can. I will have plenty of that while I save up again for a tank.

Sorry for your loss and know that has to be a terribly upsetting experience. Best of luck to you in finding a replacement.
