[MONSTAF1SH]

:wink: ive always been a serious fish keeper and now im seriously want to keep a nice tb odd ball set up and nothing that breeds.
Its a nice tank that will have a few bucks of fish in it 8O
Intead of having 19 tanks around the house i want one bloody big tank with some bloody big fish :twisted: oh and a small tank for feeders :twisted:
Ive still got the mts (multiple tank syndrome) and still have the urge to buy more tanks :roll:
But im going to have to sit back and wait for them to grow a bit im looking forward to having a 50cm bgk 8O and a two foot rtc and tsn and toga and maby in a couple of years my my pride and joy grows up a 60 cm ornate bichir 8)
But can i stick to it :roll: :?: :roll: and what do you do when your tb,s grow to big and i cant afort to turn my shed into a 200000 litre tank :?

wow - you dont muck around do yu benckie

[Andrew]

Shane how long are those poly sheets. Are they 8x3 and going to be used ontop of eachother? Looking good so far mate. If only you would turn it into a big Malawi reef:)

[benckie]

the poly is 3x3 im only going single layer but they will be sitting on 85mm steele beams and im puttting fish worth more the 500 Malawis i recon once these guys fill out it will be awsome an odd ball tank for an odd ball 8)

[benckie]

moving the tank now here comes the hard part :?




















well that was a mission :roll:

[benckie]

now getting the steel and starting on the stand today








now back to making the stand will post progess

[Iamsam]

i think some one needs to invest in a proper trailer

[benckie]

yeah your right but it was cheaper to use the horse float its old and heavy and has new supension so it wouldnt bounce around while driving 200 km back with the tank and the steel didnt have to be cut to fitt it on the trailer :roll: saving for coin for fish and to buy beers for me helpers

[Blackcats]

Like your safety boots Benckie

[cobby]

Hope nobdy got large pineapples 8O lifting that!

Regards Cobby

[benckie]
