September 24, 200521 yr comment_66966 TM - That looks outstanding, I can't wait to see how it looks in a few months. Even the plumbing has impressed me, and I am a plumbing snob! Seeing setups like yours is really inspiring. 10/10. More pics! Pie Report
September 24, 200521 yr comment_66968 i can hear all the argument's coming now No arguements from me, if you like the aesthetic or fear the sand then is the way to go for sure. Looks like Christchruch is NZs capital for BB marine tanks! Those concerete spacers looks like a great idea, where can you get them from? Pie Report
