just entered into design meetings with wifey initial reaction was  look at the size of that and its going where  so could be some chocs later wine candles smooth music then i will get my tape out stanley 8 mtr power lock 8) :y that will impress her

I know a cracking Omega Estate with Self Levelling suspension that will swallow that tank Paul!  ;D :-X

your still not helping james  ;D ;D ;D wish i had come to you in omega van 21mpg :o :o mind you it was shifting on the way back ;D ;D

Ouch!!! You must have been shifting!!! Even at speed, my Omega would achieve more than that, which probably isn't helpful either!!  :P ;D

and here is a pic of the beasts that run the show ;D ;D this is not a for sale ...its a give away ..the pumps are fluval 303 and 403

but being the first to show interest paul lovejoy is first in the line....

no paul i am in no big hurry to get it shifted....come and have a look if you wish...and yes you defo will need 4 men to shift it
slippy hands on glass etc.and its not something you wanna drop...its a tight fit getting it out the house...move cooker.take tank out kitchen door and through garage onto drive..heavy bulky and awkward





they are very little filters for that size of tank...my fluval 405 would struggle to deal with that lot..your bill for running those two must be sky high...... :y

not been used for some years now but when them pumps have been running for a few days water is crystal clear..under the stones was a 1 inch gap..and all the crap is sucked down through filter and back out 2 spray bars on top...worked great :y

big pump 22w  smaller one 15w

still expensive to run by todays standards...my dads tanks is a little bigger than yours...and he as a filter which will turn over the literage of the tank in a hour and it costs 2p a day to run....mind you not cheap to buy... :y

well design meeting results got my arse well and truly kicked, even made a ply template of the tank ( probably the worst thing i could have done ) bugger me its big :o :o

we tried all sorts of positions, with the template :( although we can get it in :o it just going to take up to much girlie furniture space

unfortuanatley got to agree with wifey the way our house is laid out chimney breast etc  there are only the option of 1 position and thats the new big tvs position if we ever get the thing. did think about the works shop but then i would be like billy no mates with my fish

so sorry big time jumped in feet first there like a bell end would have loved that tank but i need a bigger house...sorry to mess you around with it  :-[

Sounds good. Fill it with formaldehyde and she'll last for years and be no bother at all. :y
