Here is a pic of our 8ft tank (still a wee bit to do)... have had it cycling for rather sometime. Still have to clad front and side in Rimu tongue and groove. (Need the plug ups underneath tidying up to) :lol:

Tank was made by Peter from Port Nicholson Glass in Wellington, fabulous guy and really makes a beautiful job on his tanks, beautiful siliconing job.. really makes a difference! Hubby and a mate gave it a go getting it inside by themselves and after a whole heap of huffing and puffing and getting it up onto the deck and into the lounge, they managed :lol: Had my heart in my mouth lol

It's 8ft (900 litres), and has double thickness 10mm glass bottom aswell.

We are running 2 x Aqua One 2400 external filters on the tank and since the pic we now have 4 x 4 foot Aqua One lights.

Still a way to go but getting there... At least past step one (cycling tank) lol Just going to plug away quietly (at least the expensive part is over)

Currently for now it has our young Frons and Julido and a Lelu who actually thinks hes a Fron, been with the baby Frons since he was a little nipper himself..

We currently only have 3 large rock formations for the fish, already the Frons have tagged their own areas lol Didn't take them long....

Pic of tank (not a good pic had only one old light on tank)

Pic of the Frons within one big rock formation..

And with their Yellow mate who has an identity crisis :lol:

Will get some update pics with new lightening, just awaiting arrival on new bulbs for fittings, unfortunately fittings came with pink bulbs :-? :lol:

wow thats wicked the fronts and the rest of the fish will love you so much

very NICE :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Awesome lookin tank Mekhaela :bounce:

Will be a awesome tank for the fronts to grow into :bounce:

Its looking great, nice work I have to agree with you about Peter, he does a great job and you'd be mad to buy one from a pet shop if you live anywhere near Welly!

Thanks guys, still have a wee way to go before it really starts looking like I imagine it to look with time :lol:

Heres a pic of our sulky Comp Alto, who has finally joined his tank mates, took a couple of pics after he had been put in the tank, no matter how

grumpy he looks, hes rather placid and laid back :lol:

We brought him a wee while ago now, and he was the most sickly skinny looking fish, so got a discount on him, as he had been in the shop rather a long time, so took him home and fed him up and hes slowly but surely growing... The lips are just starting to go blue

Lelu checking out the arrival

Everyone has to be nosey...

Another thing I learnt after taking pics, pays to clean the front of your tank before taking snaps :roll: :lol:

haha! yeah thats true!
