Damn that's huge.
It must weigh 200kg+
The hardest part will be getting it onto the stand without out crushing your fingers.

looking great champ.
soz i couldnt give you a hand moving it...

[benckie]

even if you could if i was you i would of said no lols well its still on the floor in getting the back ground done in 30 mins or so and next weekend i will be lifting it up on the stand and start the plumbing

[benckie]

i had the back ground installed tonight its limmo tint for a few reasons

1 because the tank is near a large window it will keep the heat out and some uv, im hopping the tank will stay at a even temp


2 not have a algee problem like i did with a 6x2x2 near a sliding door and a large window but i used a uv to help with that and i will be using a 72 watt uv on this tank so to keep maintance down

3 it looks cool :wink:

4 its cheaper then a fake roll on back ground

5 the dark colour shouldnt take any colour away from the fish im hoping it will inhance the colour and make the expencie buggers stand out

any way here are some pic,s









thanks glen for pointing me in the right direction

[madasa]

Good going matey.

[Leevers]

looks fantastic!
where did you pick the tank up from?
