FTS

pics all taken on my phone.

comments and advise welcome

So heres a picture with all the rock added. It doesnt look like much but theres about 400kgs in there, probably more and my back is killing trying to get it in.

It better not collapse or im a dead man.

Wow - great effort! I had yesterday off and all I managed was a water change..! You've well and truly put me to shame.

It looks really great. The powerheads will be very useful for getting some cicrculation going around the rock piles too. Out of curiosity has the tank got a "floating base" - ie not in contact with the stand? I'm going to add rocks today to my setup but a bit worried about the weight one a floating base - I won't be adding 400KG though - this change around must have taken some time!

What are your stocking plans for it? Going to enjoy watching this one come together.

That is awesome! What's the tank underneath in the cupboard? Sump? Plus where did all your fish go?!?!

All the fish are in the shed untill i sell them yeah theres a 5ft sump underneath the stand.

Not too sure on stocking yet.
The tank sits on a steel frame and then the whole thing is encased with the woodwork.

Night pic,

Got coral sand today

And after stpipping the entire tank, refilling twice with freezing water i found this little guy who must of got sucked into the sump, and managed not to get mangled when the sump pump went back on.
