2300 gallon fish room work in progress.

Slowly getting backyard done... been a hell of a trip everything worked out by a few mm... getting the pond into the truck, 6 hour drive in total had to drive back with the doors open and made a stop to buy sand and soil to pack under it so it wouldn't snap lol. then it just made it past both doors to the fish room out to the backyard, was scraping against one door was worried.

Its 4.7m x 2.4m x 2ft deep. fitted in my hole perfectly was made for one another. I had to put a fair bit of soil back into the hole as I dug 2m deep, had a mate over tonight at 7pm and we just finished digging soil back around the pond (11 pm)

Also resealed the bow front and filled it tonight, so far so good but who knows this is the last time. so if it leaks brick time or reptile tank I have had enough with this tank is a joy when it runs but a nightmare to seal the fact that I am the only one to get it sealed makes me keen to keep it and get it running though!

Few pictures... sorry about the colors was using the saltwater LED to light up the backyard so we could work

Thanks guys, little update sense its bumped up =P

Did the 6x3x3 move last night with one mate we just managed bloody heavy 15mm but the stand seemed to be just as heavy as the tank and we couldnt be bothered taking the tank off lol. ** The wood support pictures are for this tank my dead body hole is right were one leg would sit so I spent some time @ work getting ideas and chose to go with that, what you cant see is there is a 150mm slab under the timber laying flat thats done to reduce pressure points as much as possible so it should never crack the wood is 50mm (2inch) and the 2 smaller beams were just going to be going into the skip so i added them if they get wet though they wont do much but not really required. **

Today did a new setup as such... I want a nice wall for solo cichlids as fed up keeping most of them together it works quite well but my RTC wants the 8x4 and I cant see all my cichlids getting along in smaller tanks + the male dovii is getting quite large not causing issues but I dont want to risk it. the females are actually worse then him all 3 males are fine they just chill out but the females go crazy fighting every thing the big male tries to calm them down but its turning a bit rough lol!

Anyways did it all alone, started painting the stands around 9am finished at 8pm had to get the tanks inside from my tank grave yard which is not the easiest when your soloing it! Happy with the out come I think my tank layout maybe finally finished just want to set up one more system near my desk & a smaller tier (2ft or so)
