And we have got someone to help us on the 444 lb object…<\/p>\n
Here’s the deal. My marine tank is a wonderful tank, but we got it when we had the apartment, and it fits in a corner. I’ve been looking for a way to enlarge the tank so I can keep some fishes that I particularly like. So—I found a tank on special, probably made for an order that didn’t get picked up; and I have this monster coming in—444 lbs, pallet and crate. And we’re going to have to get it into the house. <\/p>\n
Hopefully this will arrive on schedule, next Wednesday: hopefully it will be everything I hope it is: if not, well, I’ll make it work. It’s coming from New York on a pallet with crate, so it’s not as if this is all fish tank. There’s a stand and canopy, so I can bring it in as 3 pieces. Still—it’s going to weigh, and it’s fragile. We needed help, and friend Tim, bless him, is going to come over after work on Wednesday and help us get it up the steps. Til then, it will probably have to stand in our front yard. <\/p>\n
The good news is—the most expensive part of a tank is not so much the tank as the gear—and it’s not a huge enough leap that I have to have new gear. So I can do this the ‘easy’ way and just plug one into the other. But it’s going to be a bit of an undertaking. I’m very excited. I love the hobby. I mentioned I’m doing a (of all things) fish book, how to, and I hope that will pay for it. And save a few pretty fish from untimely demise, with my how-to instructions. Anyway, I’ve looked forward to this for a dozen years, since I gave up my big tank when I moved, and I’m real excited. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
