glad you've got the shipment, Barry  
 
Take your time to study all stuff comparing to the manual you've received before.

I'm very excited and have sent your and Christian a few questions via email. I have been studying manual and parts most of the morning and came up with some questions.
Cheers,

Lovely tank. Great engineering.
