I have finally got my beast.But forgot the glass covers :rolleyes: Luckily my dad can get some cheap glass though.Dimentions are 72 inches x 24 [high] x 36 wide [270 us gallons].It was to wide to get down are pathway so we are gettign some piano trollys to roll it on it's side... lol .It takes 4 strong men to lift it and 6 average people.Took half a day getting it out of the guys house though.Had a 'good mix' of a short woman ,2 teenagers ,me and another boy about the same size as me and my dad, who is pretty old ehh.We never really lifted once until we got to the van.Had to kind of roll it haha.

It has 2 or 3 [can't remember] holes drilled along the middle which have been covered with glass and syloconed .Also a glass box at the end with an open top and the whole at the bottom of it has not been covered.I pressume this is for a sump.i have a 4ft tank [well to spare] which is 4ft x 16 x 12.Would this be big enough for a sump [i don't think so :shout: ] /.If anyone has instructions on how to build a sump could you please show me.

I introduced my leos together to see if they would mate [concluded they definetely will-] but yesterday the male bit her on her tail and drawed a bit of her skin of which must of been painful so i am gonig to fatten her up for two weeks then introduce them to actually make some babiiis :shifty: .

My aqua qube 40 is going great, not much algae and plants are thriving.Cycling with some guppies lol.

Sadly no pics as i have lost my phone software,have to download it of limewire soon...Of to watch some tv now anyways :good:
 
Phone software is up and running.Pics whenever i cna find where i put my phone :rolleyes:
