well as some of you know i have moved from cornwall to manchester and i have had to down grade my tank to 120ltrs but after deliberation and some decoration i have been given permission by SWMBO to have a bigger tank

well i got offered a 130x50x50 tank by a member and i have now cleaned and stood it ready for the live rock i bought yesterday which i snopw curing in my 3ft tank for the min

well i have cleaned all the dead coraline off the tank and gave it steam clean

then draged it back in the house and put it on the stand

decided i wanted a backing picture instead of painting it this time just in the off chance i change my mind about the colour

so the move will happen tomorrow with the live rock and then i need to look at the lighting and how i am going to sump (probably wont drill it tbh)

Another thread giving me a push to upgrading. :-:o

I was kind of jealous yesterday when you bought all that LR - Now I see the new tank.

Good luck mate, I am sure it will look stunning once up and running.

was a little befor i realised how a decorating razor shifts bits lol

but too a few bits of skin off with those bloody sharp things mixed into the coraline

i was jealous of every one else as i could only by live rock and nowt else

i wont drill it but i may add a sump the hob units are quieter than out else also means less messing about in all honesty with wiers and what not also i dont loose any space in the tank to a weir.

cathrine, no it didnt take long lol but i am getting shouted at because i have 2 tanks sat in the front room lol
