God I wish I could afford a tank like that

My dad is paying for it

He wanted to say thanks for looking after him (i'm also his carer) and towards my birthday next month

I know he's fab - and after all the years of wanting a bigger tank

Plus got discount code out of PFK mag and ended saving him a further £57 on the tank

Good news...Tank will be here on Monday my day off...so i need to clear the space in the kitchen,atm it has the 20 gals on the table, so need to part drain it to move it,to get the table & chairs out,which dont get used anyway

Then hopefully once the new one is set up and running i will start moving everything across from the 55 gals, i've decided to keep my 4 footer and divide it to use in an attempt to have breeding corys and fry in there... good intentions...we'll see

So then i will put the cories from the 20 gals in there for now...

Gonna be a busy week next week

Update -

My new 5 footer has arrived for the new cory home - moved the 20 gals out the way for the time being with the growing bronze & albino younsters...they will go in the 4 footer eventually...

Here's how far i've got - tank up in situ,need to go shopping for sand & backing etc

This is what it looked like after cleaning nearly 3 bags of very dirty argos playsand and backing on on Tuesday



Now all up and running
Spent 6 hours yesterday moving the decor,fish and filters,adding plants etc etc... went bed at 1.30am

9am this morning tested water, spot on i was worried about the filters,they'd been off for a few hours,plus i had to seed the new bigger ex1200 with media from the ex700...but all looks good at mo

Will take pic later when there's no daylight glare on the tank

I'm excited to see what you do with it. I myself had just purchased a few Panda cory's. They're SO adorable!

 

[Harlequins]

Thanks

Well i've just added 12 Cardinals and 6 lemon tetras, also got 3 peppered cories,but they're in the other tank
They've only been in there 30 mins after i acclimatised them and they're shoaling together happily
Here's a pic of tank - still some glare happening


Just uploading video of it so will put up when its ready
