hey guys
the sump i made before is working good, but with no propper trickle plate i feel it could work better,
luckily for me i found out about a free 3ft tank, so i went and picked it up. it came with fish lol
gold fish to be precise now one was a beast nearly 7" long, so i took the to the lfs and traded in, got £10 for them, so that paid for my aquatic silicone lol
i also got free with the tanks, two air pumps, under gravel filter and an internal filter, aswell as a luminaire. cool eh
anyways heres the tank-its a rio
in the middle of cleaning, next step is to get some glass cut,
the tank is 3ft x 1.5ft x 1ft giving approx 33gals(us) when full,
i want it to be just under half filled,
here are some, pics, got the glass cut by a friend, cost £5. bargin, then set about sticking it in, i have done one side first, and when set i will do the other side
pics
heres the photo with tape off
her are the support tubes,
the black shelf, is undergravel filter. now all i need is some acrylic to make the drip plate
more filter media, corse sponge
all done, even had enough plexi left to make a lid ha ha
just need to cut appropriate holes for pipe work and cables.
