shattered hopes

[MikeDeL]

What is it with forklift drivers lately? Do they not train them any more. I got a new tool box a few weeks again. When it showed up at the shop there was a hole in the side of the box. I open up the box and sure enough, a big dent in it. Another guy at work got a part that was almost completly folded in half by a fork lift running through the packageing. That sucks about your tank. I know how it is to wait forever for something you want and then you have to do it all over again.

I'm so sorry Don,
I went through the same experience, I just received my tank and went to pick it up from the same place. Those guys think they are on Alamo dragway. I checked my tank before signing, but luckily mine was fine. And your right, the tank is built very solid and the low iron glass is very clear. It will be worth the wait.

That really sucks, good thing you were suspicious! I had to wait an extra 3 weeks for my corner tank when the made it wrong the first time ... the next three weeks won't be much fun but it will be worth it!

Hope the next one comes in fewer "Pieces"

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your tank dude. If you need a trailer in three weeks I have a 8X6 trailer you can borrow. by the way when can I come by to return your book. Best of luck with the next one.

[don-n-sa]

Thanks for the offer on the trailer but the dimensions of the shipping container is 10 x 4

Don,
Sorry to hear about your tank. I know that you have been waiting so long.
Who was the carrier? Let us know what happens.

I went to the glasscages website and their tanks look nice. Makes me want to custom design a corner model when I retire from the service.

More than happy to hook you up with some live sand for your tank when it does come in. Call it a Tankwarming party!

Yes & No ... They made it EXACTLY to my drawing specs! However, the last time they "attempted" they said the dimensions needed to be a little different, so I adjusted the size of the stand I made. So this time, they DIDN'T change the dimensions :x

The stand is off about 1 inch (too big) in the front, but nothing a little wood trim can't fix, right ~Pete~? ;)
