[xd2-david]

Just wanted to tell somebody that I have just managed to get my new tank into my house (no one was around here)

Very big tank the rena 200x50x70 and it weighs loads just took 3 of us to get it in

Anyway I won't bore you any further

 

[Lynden]

Awesome. It's always great to get a new tank.

I'm getting a big one too soon an 8-footer!

8ft if I got one that big it would have to go across my door aswell the 6ft only just fits on wall only. Can't wait to have it up and running.

Excellant news mate

Any piccies

 

[xd2-david]

Yeah here you go.

As you can see it is very empty right now, I have the sand still in some of the water in a bin and about 20 - 30kg of rock which I am going to use as base rock.

Also have to external filters and a skimmer, ordering an RO System on Friday so I can start filling it next week I am planning to make a page on the back of my website with detail of the process which I hope will be of help to any other people in my posistion int he future.

Coor awesome tank!

How much was that mate?

 

[xd2-david]

Thanks, still veru much in the research and deciding stages of what I want, Lion fish, clown fish, ray, butterfly, angel. I know there not all compatable and that's why i am in no rush to make mistakes.

I am very open to suggestion at this point

The tank/cabinet along with skimmer two large external filters loads of accessories, sand, test kits, 3 powerheads and a few other bits cost me £600

very nice, how do i say im jealous!

 

[xd2-david]

It's all go

Just picked up an ro-man 100gpd 6 stage RO-Unit and 25kg of red sea pro salt. Let the mixing begin.

And don't be jelouse to be honest I found so many good deals. I just started searching not so obviouse terms. I.e the tank i got didn't come up for the term aquarium on ebay I searched 'rena 200'
