You don't need anyone with a hr lic, you need someone to pull it apart and put back together at your place mate

Haha. It's not really mine. But yes it's massive! Rough estimate size 5x1.5x1.5meters. Bottom sheet of acrylic would be about 100mm

That's my girlfriend. She's about 5.2ft.

Pulling it apart would be impossible. It's acrylic. She's a one piece unit!

Trying to get in contact to see who imported them. They are at Coventry Markets in Morley if you would like to take a look.

My thoughts exactly Anka!

I am going to find out. Then plan a sneaky way to steal them all in the night and put them in the massive shed I don't have.

That is out of control!

If they put koi or goldfish in them ill kill someone!

These tanks need Rays, Exotic Bass, Arros, Datnoid... The list goes on!

Fingers crossed they realise how expensive they will all be to run and end up selling them cheap ha

I was once told that my 8x2x2 tank would collapse on the stand I built it because it only had 6 legs supporting it.
Wish I had this picture then....

Ooh. Well spotted, Sam. Where in the markets? I go there at least once a week. I will make a point of checking the progress.

This could be very cool smile.gif


IMHO, we could stick a skateboard under each corner and push it to your place...

Rite at the front man. On Walter Rd side. You can't miss the bloody things haha!

I must have looked pretty strange to the people around there, just staring at it for ages and sizing it up haha.

Was there shopping today, so took a look There are 4 "small" tanks which are about 5x4x5 feet and 2 large, which would be round 14x4x5 feet. All in 50mm acrylic

Those chesterfield sofas in the pix are huge. The other 2 "small tanks are off to the side near the doors.

I just hope they don't make it a koi farm...







We're gonna need a bigger truck. wink.gif
