[RobboT]

Nah a beer in the right hand and the tank in the left would be a lush, or maybe a six pack or more while building an acrylic cube including the use of power tools . . . oh wait I seem to recall an evening at Scavo's . . .

Plan B is ?

 

[JBendel]

Plan B happens if we drop the tank or I botch drilling the stand for the overflows ...

 

[Tstone]

Leave with six under therir arm????

What do you mean by that, I will drink all 6 right in there before we get the tank in the house

Man your not even going to save me one??

 

[JBendel]

Hey Marvin ... just got back from Kappy's ... you 're safe.

 

[paulthomas]

My arm is what's bothering me, thankfully not my back.

Sorry for the late reply. I won't be able to make it. We're heading to Thomasville for some kind of sale that ends tomorrow. After that it's restaurant depot and then to work. Sorry.

Marvin ... Got a cerveza in the fridge with your name on it.

jbendel, did you get the acrylic overflow covers? I was looking at my set and the groves look really small, im wondering how much water will get thru the teeth into the overflow.

 

[JBendel]

I have glass overflows, so no teeth. It might be worth comparing against an AGA overflow ... at the end of the day ... I think it's just surface area (but then I 'm an EE).

 

[JBendel]

I was planning to just screen the top of overflows, but now that you mention it ... I 've got a box joint jig, which could be be used to make an acrylic cap.

 

[nitrofish]

I got the black covers for the glass overflows so you can't see inside. glasscages makes them.I guess you just silicone them over the glass overflows

 

[JBendel]

It might be worth a quick call to them, if you plan to push a lot water through the overflows. I assume you got the standard drill holes for 1.5" bulkhead drains.... I would think they balanced the the overflow caps with drains, or at least know the max. gph. I called them several times last week when I was putting the stand together, and got a helpful responses.

i moved my 180 AGA with one other person. I wouldn't consider myself a big person (6'1 - 165 lbs) but we did it without struggle. Although we encountered no stairs

good luck!

 

[JayM]

That's a LOT of tank for two people, unless one of them's name is Ahhhnold

 

[JBendel]

I think a 180 weighs ~ 275 - 300 lbs empty, so even on a flat service ... two people moving it without hardship .... that impresses me. ... and they don't exactly come with handles.

 

[nitrofish]

as long as you don't have to lift it above your waist or up any stairs I could totally belive that.
