[Paul_MTS]

nah the bolts and wing nuts are both steel, can't remember if stainless or not, bought them a while ago!!

Pond will be ready tomorrow for fish Gankut, just depends what time I have.

i have always thought brass and ally were safe but im not to good with metal work to tell the truth

that is great work what you have done their

whats the dimentions

tbh Richard I don't have a clue! Once the water clears and I can see what I'm doing I'll coat them in Adheseal so rusting won't be a problem anyways.

Thanks for your comments really pleased with how it has turned out myself.

steel rusts stainless or not, alloy dosent, but as long as you have head of the screw and the nut and shank of the screw coated with a decent sealant it should be ok. Great lookin setup good to have more than just the overhead veiw.

Wow, thats amazeing paul, i really like what you've done with the tub. I cant wait to see it with your ray in there.

 

[tropicman]

[Fighterfish]

It's not running anyomre as he sold the fish.

 

[Paul_MTS]

Yep, shut it down just before christmas after selling the last couple of fish in there.

The pond may be started up again in the future as a grow on tank for Electra, my smaller electric eel.
