Tale Of A New Tank

Here is our build, hope it invokes some interest.

Once there was a window and then this happened.

And Then The Tanks Arrived

And then the tanks arrived, the lights went up and the main tank went in.

Re: Tale Of A New Tank

Looks like the tank is a little wide for the lights to not be placed over the center?

Interested in future updates.

Re: Tale Of A New Tank

Excuse me, but did you know there is a fish tank in your window????????????

Looking good, can you give a few more details on just what your plans are for this. How big is the tank???? What are you going to use for pumps, lites....etc.

Re: Tale Of A New Tank

Okay the tank is 1000 litres, big enough for our two kids to climb into, before we filled it with water obviously.

And the lights were off centre because we were putting things in and moving rocks around, they have been put in so that we can move them to the backwards and forwards depending on what we need to reach.

Just to keep up your interest here is the water and salt going in.

Re: Tale Of A New Tank

I like the way you did the lights, so you can move them. That is a good idea. This tank is up and running right now, correct?
