Yep looks very dirty and bad light but certainly has potential to be one massive hunk of beutiful tank!!

I'm kinda miffed how I'm doing to aqua scape it whilst I have instant fish, they can't stay in buckets and bags for too long after the journey

He says it has a Ehiem pro on it, don't know what model but if i get a fluval 404 to add on that will run sweet then.
 
Which topic in Chit chat............



....the one about transporting fish?


Looks like it could be resurected... :D

What is the story behind it then Paul?
 
Yep the one for transporting them.

It sure does have potetial, I might do the formation in a few steps so the fish don't need to be in bags for ages.

When I get it back I can set it up with new substrate get water in get heated then get the fish in there.

Then maybe after a few weeks, i can remove the fish again, then plant it up and do a bit of aqua scaping!!

The hopefuly it will be a big beuty!!

Oh the story....urm I want a big tank, i'ved found that 1 on ebay and will hopefully be getting it, then putting it in my brothers room.
 
Definatly a fixer upper but I look forward to pictures once you have transformed it into a thing of beauty :)
 
I look forward to seeing pictures of the move......... :p :p

..........that is going to be an interesting one....... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Where might you have to transport it from?
 
It's located in Surrey up a set of stairs!!!

:eek: Stairs!!!!! Now that is going to be fun!! Like I said in my other post to you. Make sure you've got plenty of mates with you; you'll probably find it is 10mm glass in which case it's going to weigh getting on for 100kg without water!!!
Good luck to you with it. I look forward to seeing the finished article!!
 
Straps.................and lots and lots of bubble-wrap.........

(if you can't get hold of any bubble-wrap, I can get some from work and drop it off to you)...... :D
 
I was thinking of bob sleding down there stairs in it :lol:

shhh rvm your going to put me off it soon!! depending whos at the other end to help it's just me and my bro, it's only a 2 seater van

I think we got a massive roll in the garage or shed :S I'll be taking plenty of blackets though, i'll check it out.

Otherwise i might take u up on the offer if it's good old freebies!! Of course you could look at my tanks for a charge while your here!! :D

We have a few ratchet straps and buuuuuunnnnngyy!! cords and some rope of course!!
