I just bought new tank *L*, well i put a deposit on it any way...so it wont arrive for a few weeks yet.

Its a brand new 5ft (313litres). I got it to upgrade my 4ft tank (200litres).

So all this below.......(latest pic of 4ft)



Will be removed and held while the changeover occurs, looking way forward to the bigger tank, but not the changeover *LOL*

While i'm awaiting the new tanks arrival, i have to get a new heater & i'm hoping to be able to pick up some new rocks for it, spotted some petrified wood at a shop the other day...looked real neat. Also on the lookout for some unusual driftwood i like.

The substrate will vary a bit too in the new one...still sand but i want to mix gravel or something in with it..

Pics to come

The 4ft will then be for sale (i'd love to keep it, but i really have nowhere to put it *L*)

You can put it in the dingy and tow it behind the ark? :nod:







:rofl:

Some updates.....

The new tank arrived in town this morning, but it will be a couple more weeks before i pick it up. Bilbo found me a nice piece of wood to use in the new tank, it needs soaking, but i'm having trouble finding something big enough to submerge it in (its 1.2 metres long)


The 2ft tank had a change around this morning ~ still cloudy but will clear

Some new fish bought for this tank...yoyo loaches


The betta tanks have been changed ~ the UGF was removed and an airstone added

Maybe you could try soaking it in a 5' aquarium? :shrug:
















:rofl:

*LOL* i need to soak it prior to it going into the 5ft tank....it will float and release shitloads of tannins....i'd like both these problems addressed before it goes in!

You are taking some fantastic pics, Sharni. That crowntail is beautiful.

I mean, Noah. :o

Buddy is a stunner isnt he :D

I wish i had more time to play with the camera....i really enjoy it

You can build a temporary trough with bricks and a piece of plastic. I don't know where you'll get any water to fill it with down there. :rofl:

*LOL*...the liner plastic is quite expnsive...i wanna do it as cheap as possible lol

Now this explains why it seemed like I came in on the middle of something you were talking about in chat when I was there the whole time.

:roflmao:

I should have known when you kept your wap shut. LOL
