nice one, i know how you feel but atleats you can see and touch yours.

I'ved ordered myself a nice ehiem tank and is special order so won't see it until maybe after x-mas...so it's a late pressie to myself and fish!!

 

[Coral platy]

sorry to hear that paul.
I cannot realy look at it.
Its just in the computer room and i cannot look at it or even go into the thing to set the filter/heater up.
(i took the photos when my dad went down stairs (sshhhh dont tell him) )
Its a drag.
I hope every thing goes well with your new tank.

[Paul_MTS]

well atleast you have seen touched and layed with it!! I'ved just seena picture in booklet.

I hope the shop gave you a good deal on it!!

 

[Coral platy]

the best they were getting rid of it as they had no space for it.
I think it was £200 and the bogwoods were £8 for both.
They also wanted to get rid of it as it has a small scratch on the side.

[Coral platy]

it was cheap because of this.
(the scratch)

lol top find...

we had a customer come in that wanted more discount on a polished wood tank we had because there was a mark but that would of come out in a good polish!! we gave it to them to get rid of them though.

 

[Coral platy]

i hate fussy costomers they give the shop a bad name.
Do you own your own shop?

Coral

 

[Paul_MTS]

nah i'm just staff, tis the beginning of my 2nd month here and already spent a few hundred in the shop not including the tank

I got a Rio180 exactly the same as that last year for Christmas too, only piad £75 for mine though.

By the way word of advice, the fitlers are pretty weak in them if you plan on stocking the tank pretty good or want lovely clear water invest in an external canister filter and run it with the Juwel filter!

Paul - Eheim tanks ???

Have you got prices ? - No one round here stocks them

 

[bunjiweb]

Just a thought, will your parents not even let you set up the tank with water, a plant and the filter. Would just need to feed the plant to get the cycle going at it would be perfect by xmas....

This way you can get full enjoyment out of it at Christmas

i will be putting old water from my old tank into it then topping up with R.O water.
In other words no i am not even alowed to look at it.
