:thumbsup: Hi All, remember that biig corner tank that Nick Darbyshire couldnt give away and threatened to put a hammer through :whistling: Well the good news is its now got a new home in Blackpool :cheers: Cheers Nick!
Up to now the tank is sat in my garage/workshop and has been cleaned up and the cabinet stand is in the process of a full strip and refit! :wacko: (bloody splinters) To give you a better idea of what you all missed as a freebie, the tank was apparently built for a lottery winner and after much deliberation and calculations on the bb turns out to be about 620lts or 138 galls, the intention is to place it in either my lounge or dining room depending on the finish and approvale off er indoors. Shes not to keen on the idea of taking up the new carpet in a newly decorated lounge to pour the concrete foundation for the tank :ph34r: So it could finish up in the dining room(not finished yet :idea: ) The tank is complete with a 4x2x2 mm sump built in the cabinet and has a built in weir! Makes my current 4ft tank look a bit sad :whistling: I will try to update the progress on the fit as often as I can, but as Ive just been laid off from work :angry: its going to be a slow process :bored: On the other hand if anyone needs a lift with their project in the local area, give me a shout, Im not doin owt else! Look out for future updates, I have a habit of making things happen when they shouldnt! :blush: All the best Trev. :cheers:
