Ok this is it, the time has arrived, revamp time. Tested the sump - it holds water
Ordered all the pipework and pump, and it has arrived
Just the drill bit to get then i can't put it off any longer ............................... Hit a snag,
Chris (my other half)suggested we went to the local fish shops just to look at the tanks in case the worst should happen when drilling it to see if we could get a replacement at short notice and how much it would cost. The first 3 shops had nothing the 4th did. Now this was the dilemma the tank in the shop was reduced by quite a lot but still cost a pretty penny (cos it was different tank would have to buy the stand as well)it's bigger, would it fit in the space we have? It's just a back up so not to worry about it for the moment - then our minds started turning.... Anyway long draw out story short i brought it. An aqua one regency 100, so i am upgrading aswell, from the 620t (130l) the the regency 100 (220l)
The extra space will help me achieve the look i want plus it will be easier to keep the parameters stable. So i now need to get more glass cut for the new sump. Luckily the pump i brought for the last sump will be sufficient for this one, bigger skimmer now needed and uv (luckily i didn't buy them yet) I brought enough pipework so that's ok - so the headache begins again - on the plus side i don't need to remove everything from my current tank to get the job started, down side have to plan a little bit more now.
Once my tank is done then the fun really starts as we are moving/ changing the other 2 tanks over - the river reef (95l)for my 620t (130l) then the frag tank upstairs (70l) for the river reef
Anyway will keep you updated with pic as i go.
