Sorry to break it to you if not. 😉

Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting for the past 2 days.
All is finished anf filled now, aron did a great job cutting all the mdf for the panels and getting stuck in helping me with hardscape layout and planting. (Not bad considering he was only coming for a tank ha ha)
It took ages and everytime we did something, something would happen to delay things.
Especially the light arms wed been and bought which we then decided against so few more hours wasted.
Id finally finished planting at around 3 this morning and left it to fill whilst I cleaned up only to find all the wood has lifted up and I had to redo the tank again. It was daylight by the time id finished 🙁..
So the tank is a little cloudy at present but I am just going to upload photos from the camera first and get them on.
Once tge tanks clear ill get some shots.

I need to get more plants too as despite have lots and lots,it doesn't look that many at all.

Also made acrylic inlet and outlet for the fx6

Think it looks pretty good. 😀

Alastair that's looking brilliant. Great sense of depth and the wood looks really natural - much better than the layouts on the carpet! Will get some ferns off to you tomorrow.

Enjoy your sleep tonight!

Looking Great alistair mate. Bet your Knackered!
Wheres the tank situated? cos condensation off that bad boy will probably turn said room into a tropical jungle.

 

[sanj]

Lol, its great! You must be chuffed. 🙂


Does the guy who sold you the wood still sell it or was that a lucky one off? Ive been asking Tom for Tree stumps to complement the two I got or even a fallen one...

Is that gravel or sand... unipac stuff?

 

[Deano3]

looking good Alistair love the layout and the wood looks great real sense of depth looking forward to more pics 😉

Cheers dean

How much is the substrate sloped up at the rear? Cant quite make it out 🙂 Maybe if you get 5 mins, take a shot of the side view? Pretty please?
