So, no s#it, there I was: just groovin' to some tunes and continuing the tank overhaul, when it came time to decommision the biopellet reactor that has been offline for about 6 weeks. Without thinking, I unscrewed the canister and whoosh.... a concentrated cloud of hydrogen sulfide was released, subsequently permeating the entire house.

We currently have all of the windows open to air it out. The Dainty Dictator is displeased.

Roll up a newspaper and waft it out

Sorry, I was getting dinner. They made some venison pot roast and chicken enchiladas.

Dude, you have no idea how gentle I’ve been not to mention skipping on many comments!

You have a handsome pup there and I also dig the A. B. in your profile pic.

Yup, I believe so.

Okay, I got the other reactors cleaned out, and mounted back along the side of the stand. One canister will remain empty, in the event I need to run an emergency media like Purigen or something. The other is for GFO and has fresh media. I moved the old shelf that I was using for the Kamoer peristaltic pump that feeds my CaRx between the canisters, and plumbed in the new AquaMaxx biopellet reactor that I modded. I'm waiting to fill it and turn it on until the white thumb screws I ordered for it arrive. Yes @crusso1993 I know the shelf is short, but the reactor is secure.

I was a bit disappointed that it was just curbside delivery, but hey, at least they dropped it in my driveway. I called my brother in law and another buddy to come help me break down the packaging and move it in to the garage. I was really happy with the crating, and like I said, the quality of the build, bracing, and silicone work were (are) amazing. This is definitely the nicest tank I've ever owned! Here are some photos of breaking it down and moving it in. Note my brother in law laying inside the tank and pretending it was one of the glass coffins from the Philippines. SMDH
