I have my new 55 gallon aquarium in the backseat of my car and the stand spread all over my living room floor. No way can I figure out these directions for putting this thing together.

Can I just submit pictures of my aquarium in my car and the stand all in pieces?

Sorry for the double laugh...had to have at least 10 characters!

I got it together other than the doors. Can't seem to figure those out. What a job! Can't believe I did it actually.

[NorthernBoy]

good for you...keep with it and i am sure you will finish. ;)

[Lady Hobbs]

The doors have those hinges with those little pegs that go into holes at the top and bottom but I can't seem to figure out how to get the top on in after getting the bottom in place. The doors are the last of my worries, tho, and I have the hard part done. Come on over and help me get the aquarium in here. LOL

I've waited so long for this tank thinking I needed a truck but darned if it didn't fit right in my backseat. Awesome!

Unfortunately i am completely confused, but glad you got it together for the most part

[Lady Hobbs]

I did it! Just needed to sleep on it. All done now and have asked a couple of the guys here to haul the tank in. Hard to find help around here when you live in an old folks home? :)

[NorthernBoy]

i believe the politically correct term is seriors home. LOL

Good to hear that you got it done. Can be a pain sometimes.

I have it set up and running! I used a blue foil background which is nice........makes the lights cast a blue sheen. All I could think of after getting it up and running was "I want another one just like it." Sure is addictive!

Haha, I know the feeling hun. I just bought a 55 gal myself yesterday. Its for my hermit crabs though. ;) I only have a 10 gal for fish. This is my first attempt at a fish tank and I have so much space taken up with hermit crabs I dont have a lot of places to put a bigger fish tank. :p But yes this is addictive. I'm still in the begining days of my tank but I'm dying to get it finished cycled and the fish I want added. I still havent settled on the type of fish I want either. :P hehe.... Oh, my tank is also still sitting in the back of my van. I'm waiting on my husband to get home from work to help me unload it. lol. ;)

[Lady Hobbs]

Good, mariposa, I beat you! Mine is running with 6 fish in it.

Wahoooo Get rid of more furniture! Make company sit on the floor.

shiptoshore.......post in the introduction thread, tell everyone about yourself and all the tanks you've had and introduce yourself to everyone. All the good people are right here.

Not that im questioning your building attempt but i think personally unless uve already got the tank up on the stand with water in it that u should put something that is fairly heavy not outweighing the tank with water in it just to make sure it holds or otherwise you might end up with a smashed tank and alot of water to mop up
