[@TheFishBeast]

Nice tank Steve! Looking forward to the setup! Congrats.

[@fossphur]

Good luck getting the tank moved! Awesome seeing these huge setups giving healthy environments for the fish :)

[@ngocly8943]

Another sweet to the point video. Can’t wait to see the set up.

[@everythingfishy1207]

Awesome man congrats on the tank finally in!

[@joet6494]

Super sweet steve! I want one! Your fish is going to love you for this. Awesome!

[@HUKIT.]

When I had to move my 240 I found out who my real friends were, Lol. Can’t wait to see it all set up as I’m sure you’re stoked too!

[@jesperfck32]

I live all the way in Denmark so im not getting to help you Saturday in Ohio , but just wanted to let you know that Im very excited to see how your new 300G tank is going to be , and i think you deserve to have a lot more subscribers on your channel , you do really have nice material and videos here and have learned me a lot on keeping aquarium :) thank you so much

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

[@Kismatvala]

@@StevePolandAquaticsCan you please tell me. how much this tank cost ?

[@TheBudgetAquarist]

Congrats...it's like bringing home a baby! Exciting!

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Gotta love new tank day!

[@rymaccichlids5999]

Awesome Steve excited for you

[@ArrickthaRed]

I subscribed just to see how you move that thing. Honestly was thinking about having a tank built. Will check these guys out for sure.

[@keithmcgee1253]

Can’t wait to see you 300 being installed Steve!

[@RaccoonCreekAquatics]

Dude.. tank goals!!

[@MELODYMUNRO]

It's not until you have to move a fish tank that you discover just how many people there are with bad backs.

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Unless its Acrylic..then everybody is Superman. I've moved my 240 by myself in the past. Lift one end up and put it on a chair...lift other end up and place on stand...soon,its up and ready.

[@mikedean481]

LoL.

[@Emzotic]

This is insanely cool!!

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Thanks Emma!

[@024DJF]

I love this! Looking forward to following along. Keep it real. Rambo , Beef Jerky, USA.

[@EsE1384]

Looks great!

[@mbunaterritory508]

Yo Steve! Congrats on the tank! Looks beautiful

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Thanks Harry!

[@ekmett]

Having just ordered the same size aquarium, they shipped it to me in 1 1888lb crate, stand and aqurium and all. We got it home, but holy heck would it have been easier if they could have shipped it as two packages!

[@manjunathb1750]

Hi, desperately waiting to c the new setup..all the best

[@FreeSwimmer]

Looks Great ! Tank move sounds like a fun time !! Sorry that Im about 18 hours away.. Ill keep watching though :)

[@EricBishop_]

Now all I need is to discover time travel so i can go back and help for pizza and beer

[@mayur4554]

Nice set

[@KGcichlids]

so awesome!

I'm around Dayton if that helps. Hit me up. Thanks great videos

[@StevePolandAquatics]

I’m in Hilliard, so if you’re willing to make a quick trip down 70 then let me know via email, stevepolandcichlids at gmail. Thanks!

[@benjamincole659]

I'd be able to help if it was Monday through Thursday but I work 12 hour shifts Fri-Sun so unless its being moved around 6pm I can't make it. It's a beautiful tank though can't wait to see what you will do with it

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Thanks!

[@pokefusion746]

Hello from Galena!

[@alex42884]

I thought they wouldn't do curb side delivery for 96" tanks?

[@icegypsy99]

I'd be thrilled to have something half that size. Curious, how much did that tank run you, and what did they charge to deliver it?

[@luisron6955]

Perfect

[@elmee96]

I want that tank!! My dream fish is a blue dovii.. My 145g is a bit to small in my taste.

[@mjweismann111]

Tank looks great, but not sure I'd be comfortable with a sump that's multiple pieces (more opportunity for leaks) and one you can only see in from the top.

[@Aquatasy]

Wow...just wow. That's going to be amazing. (I'm afraid to ask how much this whole thing set you back.)

[@jjaquariums]

Aquatasy yah custom aqaurims ain't cheap. I'm thinking around 5 grand for the tank

[@brans7269]

Awesome, can wait for it full and how much did this little tank set you back?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

This tank with these options runs about $6k. You can see all of the pricing options on their website.

[@sharkhungry15]

how much total you pay tank and tank canopy ?

[@1965zimmy]

Awesome tank and I really look forward to the set-up videos. It'll be great to see the umbee in there. What made you decide to go with the 24" width and 30" height? Wouldn't a 30" width work better for your umbee?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

The way this room is set up, 30” deep would stick out too far. Otherwise I would love the 30 and 24 to be reversed

[@1965zimmy]

It's a real shame when living space interferes with fish tanks :-)

[@jeinelson]

Wish i could help out bud. Get around him guys!!

[@joserojo6873]

I couldn't find the address on the about section. I recently moved a 265 g and it took 4 of us to move it. 6 would be way easier. I live on north the tip of WV so I am not sure I could be of much help but good luck. Those suction cups will save your fingertips.

[@WesPsWorld]

great looking tank. I'd like to have one that size but for now i've got my 135g.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

135 is a great size

[@arturoquintero8301]

I'd trade my 55 for a 135 :p

[@kennyirish5021]

My 135 fell over in the 89' Ca earth quake. Now I'm ready for 350 haha

[@vincentxiong16]

Is this big enough for a arowana?

[@RWAquariumPages]

Oh man I'm getting one the same dimensions also

[@cda1269]

Can you tell me, how much a tank like this cost

[@dsongy5197]

I'm trying to find me one any suggestion i live in texas

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

I might of missed it somewhere but what's going in it ?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

My wild caught umbee

[@brianp2707]

😍😍

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Whatever filter they came up with...remember to add a sack of polyfill aka Floss. Its still the best media out there and still better then floss sheets. All that crap about bio balls is malarkey. Any filter that is a sack of floss over 10 or 20 gallons of small lava rock is still the best.

[@efrainscichlids9038]

👌👍

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

I wish I had a tank of that size lol

[@adeelshaikh2129]

Good luck brother like to help you but live in Chicago sorry

[@jethawk9941]

I love to have a large tank but the weight and size are pretty much the only problem for me and also moving it around

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Yes, those are definitely challenges but worth it!

[@samt991]

This is an absolute dream of mine! So jealous!!!! How much did you spend on this???? 😫

[@StevePolandAquatics]

This size tank with these options runs about $6k delivered. But if you look at their website there are lots of different options.

[@samt991]

@@StevePolandAquatics thank you so much!

[@jdofishtank6018]

Holy crap that’s a big tank, what fish are going in there?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

My umbee

[@jdofishtank6018]

Steve Poland Aquatics just one fish?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Yep. It's a big fish. You can see him if you watch earlier videos.

[@jdofishtank6018]

Steve Poland Aquatics will do thanks

[@barneystinson2781]

Idk why, but I seemed to think this was going to be a 400 gallon. Good video can't wait for it to be set up. A bit to far to help good luck.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Wish I had room for a 400 gallon!

[@robertbrennan4957]

Steve, Has Mario worked on the 16 foot tank.

[@AndyP126]

Why glass instead of acrylic?

[@sed6]

Watch his previous videos.

[@mattmonteith2175]

Cool aquarium . I love saltwater aquarium s I moved up to 90 gallons aquarium. Moved on from a 55s Not looking at 150. Lol . U just can't just have one.

[@jasonf8601]

Pizza and beer?? 3 years late on this. Dang!

[@krzysieka2871]

You are from poland?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

No

[@krzysieka2871]

Its your surname?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Yes. It’s actually a British surname.

[@DANILOAQUARISMOJUMBOBRASIL]

Like!!!

[@fishdad1chadh227]

Man I would love to help you but I have to work that day you’re gonna love your sump I have the marine land 300 gallon deep dimension 6 feet long 3 feet wide 27 inches tall I had four people move this thing into my basement Waze about 450 pounds empty

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Are you free on Saturday? I'm considering moving it to Saturday morning if more people are free that day.

[@fishdad1chadh227]

Sorry my friend I have to work Saturday Sunday Monday but I would come and help them tanks are very heavy unless you wanna wait till next Tuesday or Wednesday

[@fishdad1chadh227]

I’m from Illinois but I would drive that far if I did not have to work it be pretty cool to be in when your videos I have a small KZbin Channel as well

[@jaiizwaii89]

Would love to help but I’m in Virginia:/

[@junaidahmed8990]

Second comment best of luck steve with your new Tank

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Thanks!

[@edmundooliver7584]

why not back the truck up the driveway.

[@Akhi_Fins_and_Felins_]

Where are you Bro

[@jerryebner7582]

Too bad texas is too far away.

[@TheItsmegp46]

Where is he going to put this tank? The water alone weighs 2,500 pounds, add in the weight of the tank and the stand, now you’re pushing close to or over 3,000 pounds. I hope it doesn’t collapse the floor.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

It’s going against a wall and perpendicular to the joists. Those joists are relatively short (10 ft) and sit directly on a concrete slab foundation wall. Then I have reinforced the floor directly in front of the tank with two posts.

[@TheItsmegp46]

Steve Poland Aquatics Good job.

[@luisrivera995]

First comment 🤣🔥

[@Rubi_Luna]

I Will do just for the cerveza

[@rajmohan1009]

just looking at my 10 gallon, sigh..

[@ballinxalex]

Why not drill the bottom instead of the back ? Seems like a waste ..

[@StevePolandAquatics]

I’m not an expert on this but I believe that drilling the back is much safer.

[@scotttemplin4374]

Steve, send me a text if you need the help :)

[@derunren8685]

It's going to be heavy. You better eat your spinach.

[@princekievargas220]

Can anyone give me a free aquarium???? Anyone?
