    Big Thankyou to Gary

    My new tank arrived today....its awsome !!

    5ft looks so much bigger when its sat in your living room ... hubby says it will make an excellent coffin (haha)

    Gary only came round to take a peek....and ended up putting together the cabinet...
    it would have been finished to if all the parts had been in the box gggrrrr

    Cheers for that Gary but I blame him for getting me hooked on marines...I would have been rich by now !

    Now the fun begins....more rock...water....fish .... the list is endless & im going to love every miniute...

    Pics to follow

    Macmillans are great for that. We got ours from them set up. Bought it just before closing Saturday and they delivered it assembled at 9.30am sunday.

    There was a door hinge and a couple of parts needed replacing. Went back to the shop and they had spares to hand. We'd stripped the old tank and everything was in buckets and would have been lost if they hadn't had spare parts.

    It's less than 10 minutes away too, so very handy. The additional T5 lighting unit was faulty too but they delivered a new on personallty within 24 hours. WOuld have been far more stressful if we'd bought ours somewhere else.

    Yep its official....Gary youve dropped me in it !!

    Im painting the back with black gloss...the missing pipes have arrived, so its all systems go ... just as soon as the pipes are fitted ...
    then I can start getting it wet... Ive got an extra 20kg of rock thats been sat in a large vat for a couple of weeks.

    Stock wise...mmmm.... I want a triger ...perhaps a pair of blue-throats & a yellow tang or lipstick tank... a pair of bangai cardinals..a pair of clown fish...oh er do you think my tank is big enough !! (joke)
    I can get more corals too
