Actually, no. The custom built 240 did not survive the
transport from King George to Richmond. Well, technically, it
made it to Richmond, but did not survive the transport up my
garage stairs. Lesson learned - do not buy tanks that weigh
more than 470 pounds empty. So, the replacement upgrade is an
acrylic 180 (72 x 24 x 24). It came out of production on Friday
and ships out of Arizona on Monday. Hope to have it by next
Friday.

Duuude, that is terrible! Did it get dropped or something? Or
just not ride well?
I'm in Phx, where did you get the 180? That's my upgrade here
real soon....been looking at glass locally, but may go
acrylic...

TruVue (sp?) was the company... They specialize in all things
acrylic and have an aquarium division, but they also manufacture
acrylic goods for just about any industry that might need it...
Oh... And the 240-gallon was dropped. We had three guys
carrying it... Me on one corner, a coworker on the same side
other corner, and a buddy that erects steel for a living
carrying the opposite side by himself.
John was eating pizza and watching... In any case, my coworker
lost grip on his corner, and the tank fell about 40" onto my
concrete garage floor. My wife and I were in shock for days.
It was a $1,500 tank with $400 worth of Universal Rocks
backgrounds preinstalled.

Sorry to hear about the brand new tank and the drop. Looking
