Hi Guys been a while since i was here last, Sun Mar 28, 2010 10:50 pm to be exact lol Some of the oldie regs may remember me Anyhoo, what have we been doing for the last 5 years? Having 4 kids to add to our existing 3 and buying a house kinda absorbs the time haha My tanks suffered so we emptied them, we kept the 6ft and gave the giant ones away. The missus wants me to setup the 6ft again and i remembered this board forum, away a bit of guessing of which email i used and a password reset later, here we are I been reading the posts about the converted garages into fishrooms with much interest, hmmmm anyway, just wanted to say hi and catchup 5yrs of posts. take care Peter

this section of my gallery shows shots of my stand before i covered it, it holds a 6 x 2 x 2 all up 1000 litres including sump, sand etc etc. Click Here Its made from 3x4 and 2x4 timber held with 6" nails and "no more nails" glue, super strong it is. Peter

there is a very large tank on display in the henderson jansens with no top bracing, but is very thick glass, 12 or 16 mm

i had a tank about 7 years ago the same spec as that one all in 6mm, had 4 200mm cross braces with 50mm edge brace top and bottom on all edges.

mine doesnt have any screws on the top of the motor housing?

nnnoooo more bubbas Click

Xmas blue LED lights cheap and work well, can use them as they are or as a cheap source for loads of blue LED's with wires attached

i was using a pool filter but flagged that idea, So now the water get drawn through the gravel into 4" tall baskets connected by 2" tubes and then makes its way through the baskets into the uptake and out to a trickle filter and pumped back again. Heating is via a spa pool heater which is on very little i might add due to the poly walls in the tank.

I quite like them too I like their colours when in "heat" lol

Cheers Boi Over the weekend we added 2 new tank mates, 2 plecos. Big thanx to Whetu and Xukev for having them for sale They are awesome plecos and have settled in well, though Mr Aro likes to watch them with interest but i know he is thinking about how he can make them his next meal lol Both are about 8 inches long at a guess.
