Last Mon morning I ordered a 48x24x24 tank with cabinet from ND Aquatics. Their bloke John quoted up to five weeks for delivery. An hour later I get a call that I could have the tank that Saturday as they have deliveries nearby anyway, but I wasn't in so delivery was shelved for the time being. Then two days ago another call - it'll be here Thurs (today) - apparently another couple of deliveries in the area. Busy boys!

So at 1045 today I get a call from Nerijus that he's 15m away. At 11am he's wheeling the bits in. At 11.20 he's gone. Turns out Nerijus is the 'N' in N D Aquatics, he's the tank builder (trusts no-one else to do it) and D is his business partner who does the cabinets.

It's big. Like, really big. Photos do not do it justice. We have laminate floor so we went for bavarian beech and got some polystyrene to even it out on the floor included in the deal.

On to the piccies - sorry they are far too large for this web site to accept it seems so Flickr to the rescue!

Nice and deep too so you have lots of flexibility in stocking...

You gonna go for a few big fish - or lots of middle/small fish?
 
that is a nice tank!!!

very nice!

ive just got a new 4ft tank with stand and equipment for £30 :)
its gonna be my new turtle tank cos my current one is too small for my map and soft shelled turtles
 
And after a delay I now have sand and water in it. Will post pics later.

Filter just got dispatched so hook that up tomorrow evening with any luck.

He should stock the tank with 1 neon tetra. It would live like a king.

And be lonely.

I prefer the idea of some cichlids. I know everyone who's got more than a passing interest seems to get them but hey, my turn!
