thinking abt going bk to malawi's again wld any of u have other fish then malawis in the tank !!!!! and what wld it be !!!!!

That looks fantastic, the only thing I would have done diffrently (and this is by no means a critisism, just a suggestion) is run the skirting board around. Think it would just tidy up the bottom a bit.

 

[seanie112]

Looking really good!! One thing you might try is putting some weather stripping, the self adhesive kind, about 1/2 inch in from where the lid comes down. This might help to seal off the light a little better and keep it from spilling out into the room.

I enjoyed following the thread, that tank came a long way!
Well done!

 

[seanie112]

thank you but now its up 4 sell offers on it just the tank is for sale now as i am down sizing to a 72x18x24
witch will go on the cabinet just got to do couple things to it to look like it is now ie cut out two more side bits and sorten the lid to fit

very outstanding setup enjoyed looking at all the pictures, my dream tank you definitly have sitting there. Now if I could only convince my wife we need one that big in our living room.....

I have a question regarding the tank. What is the temp drop from one end of the tank compared to the other end considering where you have the heater. Little curious on it

BTW Fantastic tank I love it alot of work looks like it paid off!

 

[seanie112]

as shown in pics
the side with heater is 24c to 25c

and the side with no heater is 25c to 26c
