Eric's big one

[Srt4eric]

you have a crawlspace for your garage? last owner might have parked a armor car there.

No. The crawl space is under my house. I'm hard wiring my khg in my detached garage out back. Instead of running a cable through my house out back I'm running it under.

Well after much deliberation I've decided not to set up this tank. BART is moving in behind me and San Jose is going to turn this neighborhood into an "Urban Transit Village". Where my house sits the city is planning an 800 unit apartment complex. The neighborhood has been rezoned already to high density residential, so it's only a matter of time.

If it's one year or five I really don't want to tear down a thriving 300 gallon tank and move it.

Just my luck... As I was moving the tank and loading it up to take it to it's new home disaster strikes. As @Blaise006 and @IOnceWasLegend was helping me wheel it out of the garage it caught the top of my garage door, much like @svreef's head usually does. Unlike Pablo's head my tank didn't fair as well.

 

[Srt4eric]

Yep. That's a crack right inside the seam.

That sucks. Is that something where that panel can be replaced or would it be to much money?

I'm pretty sure it would be easy to replace the front panel. The tank is at its new home now in Rohnert Park.

The tank is 75"x30"x28. That was a custom made sump from @robert4025 and was 120 gallons.
