180gallon Tank Shot's And Fish !

[saboy]

Hi, Nice tank and love your oscars ,


Could I ask if you bought that tank from a tank maker called mer aquatica or N & D Aquatics ?

I got i custom built from a man who has a small business down south he has a website but i'm havin difficulty getting into it i think he's closed it down but if you care to try it's www.mereaquatics.com

The tank only cost me £340 but he put his prices up shortly after i bought mine not too much tho he put them up by £100 and it only cost me £40 Delivery too anywhere in mainland UK.

Hi, I can tell you now that the website is gone, and they are most likely trading under a diff name(but the same business), i dunno why though, they are selling on ebay, i can get the link if you want, ! I just happen to live 5 mins away from the place where they make the tanks. and im also gonna hopefully be buying a 6x2x2,

what do think of the tank quality ? and how long have you have it set up ?

The reason i ask is that I am a little cautious when spending so much money and have to make sure every thing is alrite

Yeah i've had mine over a year now i haven't had any problems with it as of yet quality is good. Yeah send me the link Pls

Link in the above post of mine !

Thats great !

Nice tank, got mine from there too

Blurry pic (done without flash so it didn't drain colour), but rough idea of lay out now

My oscar's fine with tank decor. Although if the SDs go mental, he does have a habit of rushing to hide and banging into something

Yup, a Fluval FX5, an Aquapro one (I think that's the right brand - cheapo large external filter - turning 1200l an hour), a Fluval 103 with nitrate remover in it (obviously at that size it's not doing much), and there were a couple of internals running in there but we just left the powerheads in for a current. I think that's what you call them anyway - it's my hubby's hobby really, I'm just the internet addict...

Dan, I dunno if you got your measurements right - a 6ft x 2 x 2 isn't 180 gallons according to my calculations (ok the online converters I use - I'm naff at maths). It is in US gallons, but in UK ones it's only 150g. I went round thinking mine was 135, but it's only 112g UK.
