thanks,
i really love it too.

I took a gamble really as i had never seen the cabinet or tank as it was ordered all online. I got it all from these guys >>>> http/www.coralcabinets.co.uk

They delivered an excellent service and the tank surpassed all my expectations.

I Must admit that i have spent a fair whack on it, around £700 in total, with all the filter and such like. But i think the effect is great.

Well as i live in Nottingham too i took a stroll along the Trent to see what i could harvest but as the water level (due to rain)was so high i found nothing! So i had to buy them from a garden centre. World of Water out at Lambley. I was fortunate as i managed to find 2 with flat tops so the one on the top sits very nicely.

£2.50 each.

Lookin great, good job, wot u plan to house in it.

well i am not to sure yet but as i have Guppies, Mollies and a Bristlenose from my old tank they will be going in.
I am quite keen on an elephant nose or a nice (smallish and friendly) puffer. I need to give it some though over the next few months.

i keep 2 south american puffers in my community tank but all the other residents are large. They keep themselves to themselves and are fun to watch at feeding time when they stuff their bellys full till they cant get anymore in.
