Just a dead quickie to keep you all in the picture.
I have a 6x2x2 tank that I picked up off ebay for £51, yes you read reet, £51.
I have 2/3 sump tanks, the sea horse tank will be connected at a later date. I have a return pump and lots more powerheads that I got free from Matt at Fishworld who was having a clear out of some old equipment in storage, I also now have about 6 heaters of various wattages.
My sump tanks and the water to fill is kind of an exchange with a local reefer friend as Andrew is building him a new cabinet for his tank aswell.
I have acrylic rod for the aquascaping I also got this free from one of the advertisers on the marine forum I am moderating on.
Have I actually bought anything, well a little bit of my plumbing. The rest will be collected by Ste from Fishworld for me and delivered here to the house when he comes to drill the tanks, will be in the next week or so.
Week beginning Saturday 14th November, the in laws are coming to decorate. The room will be prepared, ceiling painted and then the wall painted that the tank is going against. Andrew will then that week (he has a week off) build my stand. Scott (local reefer friend) and his brother in law will then be coming round to lift the tank into position, we will sort the plumbing and get the tank filled.
Then once salt dissolved and water up to temp, the swap will begin.
I will have the tank running and swapped by the 21st November.
Will only be briefly popping in here and there, as I still have 2 tonne of articles and half an Information and care database to write along with moderating 2 other sections. I am being kept very busy at the moment.
I do however thank Tolak very much for sorting me the old dark blue skin out in order for me to actually see the site without getting a pounding headache.
Next week, Scott is lending me a little orca, this is because there is a NWMC day out on the 7th November and my tank is a full, if I see a fish, I will also be able to get that. Scott and I are going halves on a huge bag of sand as he needs some extra too. Cannot think of owt else atm, but things are progressing very nicely now. Scott is also letting me have some of his excess live rock, blooming fantastic.
Thats all for now folks, more when get more than a minute to myself. Average of 25 pm's a day atm along with answering a million and one threads.
Hope you are all ok if you are not on the other place.
