Nothing yet. They said end of this month so I was hoping to hear that it was shipping later in May. I’m honestly traveling a bunch for work so it’s not a bad thing for me. The only problem I have is that my rock is cooking in the garage and Houston is getting hot so I’m going to have to move those trash cans inside soon and I don’t really have room for them. Temp during the heat of day is 79.7. I figure it can get up to about 82 before I have to move them

Im in Katy, I feel the same way how are you planning on bringing it in the house I could use some advice when mine comes

 

[kribbz]

My plan for right now to get it into the house is to use some flat furniture dollys and roll it into the house. I may have to put it on its side for a minute to get it through the front door.

 

[Regg]

I have that I’m going to build a dolly with bigger wheels and use the a ramp turning it on side is a good idea

 

[kribbz]

Thats a good idea too. Maybe some 4 inch wheels? I don't have any steps from my garage to my front door. Just a lip at the garage and the door threshold.

 

[kribbz]

Just received my email from IM! The tank is in and they are ready to ship!!! Super excited!

 

[kribbz]

So I'm going to be out of town next week and I talked to IM. They suggesting having the tank ship middle of next week so it will arrive when I get back into town. I didn't want my house sitter to be responsible for looking over the tank while I'm gone.

Also placed an order for all of the plumbing with BRS. That should be here on Thursday along with a new PAR meter and Hanna Nitrate tester. No more comparing colors and guessing where I'm at.
