How bout it, whats's missing guys?

Do I glass the new tank in? Confused on the foam or no foam part. I sa the post on using ratchet clamps and 2x6 to hoist it out.

If no major leak is detected from steps 1-4 what is to say there is not a super small leak hole? Looks as if I may pull it anyway for piece of mind. Might be getting ahead of myself though. I'll start Sunday morning and post pics of the whole thing, also of my neighbor's wife who gardens in a white bikini.
