OK, well it holds water at least..... tongue.gif

Wedging 6'4" into a cabinet to do plumbing is hot work - loving the pit stains...


Full of water and hooking up the power to test the pumps


Nothing like a quick dip to cool off after all that work


Ahhhh.... refreshing biggrin.gif


Just freshwater in at the moment to test everything, should be filling with salt water and putting in ~400kg of rock on Tuesday, all going well.

Cheers

Finally, very cool, be good to see it come together now,

so is the old Planted tank going to become a african setup once the new planted is up and running?? tongue.gif

No one in perth has what i'd consider a decent, Busy and interesting African display.

Now thats one way to scare customers away laugh.gif laugh.gif I think you need to get out more and get some sun biggrin.gif . Saw it today, vry impressive looking diplay tank with a whole lot of effort in setting it up. It will be well worth it when all finished. I think a Marine tank will look awesome!

Awesome tank, If you havent been to see it, get ya butt over to Vebas. Check out the blue tang (Dory for you Nemo fans sad.gif )
It just cruises around the tank, while all the other fish are busy doing their own thing. Very amusing, well it was for me & my 4 yr old daughter.

Looks like I am going to have to make a visit soon. Looks awesome.
Well done team Vebas!

From my expeience, everytime you get a big tank up and running, you start planning for the next bigger one....
