moving a tank in style

well "tjh" is now heading to the airport. last weekend was a rough one moving his tank, corals, and fish to my home, many of you local reefers benifited from this. well i thought i would have some fun and show everyone how he packed his goods for the trip. first is a pic of the new tank 96*48*30 all veiwing area. with an extenal overflow box. bubble rapped and on a pallat. this was moved on the moving van.

450 pounds of slab rock for a great scaping carfulling stacked in the back of the wifes suburban.

packing the co2 tank and regulator was and easy one with these recaro child seats. notice the four point strape. lol too funny
[IMG]
a BMW makes a great car along with a good car to pack a lot of fish supplys in =)



wow he even found room for that new shuran reactor...

well at some point of time i should put this in the north carolina forum to warn them of him and his reefing abilities. i personally will be looking foward to seeing this tank in 6 to 7 months.
Tim the inland reefers will be truly missing you

I suggest he move the CO2 cylinder in the trunk.. for safety issues.
I've seen cylinders burst esp. when left in the car under the sun.
