I'd asked my buddy to help me pick up that stock tank, but through no fault of his own, he had to cancel the last two days we had planned on it (work issues). I decided last night to just go see if I could fit it in my car, and although it just barely fit (lightly scraped the interior ceiling), it did actually fit once I put the rear seats down, so I now have it home on the 3-season porch. Placed a piece of plywood under it for a bit of insulation from the concrete floor, and now I'm going to look for a free 'junk' hot tub cover on cra1gsl1st so I can cut it down/modify it to fit. Hadn't thought of this, but I might wrap the tub in an insulating blanket of some sort as well, to keep the heater from running too much.
Speaking of which, I received the aquarium heater & extension cord I ordered, last night. The filter/pump just shipped so I'm not sure when it'll be here, but I think I'll try to get the tub filled & set up today. A day or two without the pump/filter combo shouldn't hurt anything, and I'd like to have it ready for after my workout tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll start with the water temp set to 50°F to see if I can handle it.
I'm both nervous and a bit excited for it!?
