We recently purchased a 265 gallon previously owned by Mrs. Z28pwr. The tank was moved on August 30, 2009. I will post pics and hubby will get on later and post specifics.

Thanks guys.. I'm feeling the love...

Some one once told me if I turned sideways and stuck my tongue out I would look like a zipper. LOL That has to be my all time favorite skinny person reference!


Belinda, The tank really looks like it's coming along great! Keep us posted with pics and updates.

Thanks Jack. Really loved the one about the zipper. We laughed so hard it brought tears to our eyes.

Chad hasn't set the skimmer up yet. He should be working on that shortly.
