Just an update..... The tank is finally here!!!
We picked it up in Salt Lake City last weekend, and with the help of a few people who used to be my friends, it's now in the basement. This sucker is heavy. I still need to do some plumbing, and I'll be removing some carpet to create a tiled area, so for now it is sitting in the middle of the family room. I talked to the guys at Manzanita today and for some reason they hadn't shipped my order yet. They say it will go out today.
The next quest will be to poke around the mountains here for some nice rock. I went on a little drive a few days ago and found some areas that look promising. Having just enough knowledge of geology to be dangerous, I'll take a bottle of acid with me, just to make sure I'm not gathering up huge quantities of limestone.
More later........
