My New 200L Tank Log

[Brilly91]

Hi All,
 
Thought id prepare a log for my new tank which is being delivered during the week.
 
Its only been a week since i finished off planting my 100L and i am already waiting on/planning my next project.

I knew it wouldn't be long before i got a second, bigger tank i just didn't expect it to be this soon.
 
Here is a picture of the tank i have ordered.
 

 
As of yet i have no major ideas or plans for this but will be looking and deciding during the week.
 
I will post ideas and progress as i go.

I got some bits for my tank today although i am still waiting on my courier to get in contact for delivery.
 
I got 25kg of Unipac Black Gravel/Sand. They call it gravel but i disagree haha.
 
 

I also cut down and replanted a few plants in my other tank hoping they'll root and grow a bit and be ready to be put in my new tank once it arrives.

Ooh I like this! Going to add this substrate to my favourites list I think - never got on with sand myself but this looks nice enough for cories too.

Yay courier called today and the tank is going to be delivered tomorrow between 9am-5:30pm wahoooooo

[Brilly91]

Yea wish my missus would lol

 

[Brilly91]

The tanks arrived today will post a pic once the stands made and its in place after work lol.
 
She takes a lot of interest to be fair, shes more excited then me when it comes down to it. Shes a real animal lover no matter the species.

Ha ha, wish my hubby would too, at least he's let me have more tanks

Im only allowed one which is why I thought to myself.. " If I can only have the one, il buy the biggest tank I can find" lol

 

[Shelster]

Good plan it was too!
I haven't long got back from collecting an awesome piece of second hand bogwood for £7!! Hubby comes through the door and asks to see it, so I told him it was in the bathroom soaking in a bucket, he comes out excitedly saying how good a piece it is and I think he's being sarcastic, lol!

 

[Brilly91]

So after a good hour making the cabinet (worst instructions ever btw! 4pics and 4 sentences) id like to introduce my new tank
 
Shes dry for now though
 

 

[Shelster]

Exciting!
Have you decided on the look and stocking yet?
