col sorry 2 sound blunt but not long after you've finsh this you will have to buil a even bigger tank/pond for your rtc and tsn as they get 2ft in 1 year they go from 18"-30" in a year or so what do you have pland for us then ;)

be as blunt as u like bud its all good and atm i think this setup will do for a couple years untill i find out if we are going to be moveing house or not, if so i will pick a room especially for a pond for them and if not then hmmmm i was going to convert my garage but that will cost alot of money. So i guess i have about 2 yrs max to think long and hard about it m8 :headbang2. I will keep you all in the loop anyway so dont be worrying about that :thumbsup:
 
ok i just filled the tank last night to test stability and all is well apart from i have found some water underneath the tank between the tank and the poly, i checked the whole tank for cracks and anything that might cause probs and all was fine. so have i missed something or could this be a result of condensation as i used freezing cold water to fill it? would like a bit of feedback on this 1 please guys, im thinking condensation as there is defo no cracks or chips anywhere on the tank :thumbsup:

yeahm8 i have cut down on his feeding allready he is getting huge now and will outgrow the tank very quickly if i dont wean him down now. Its holding up really well m8 not had a problem yet, there was a few creeks as i was filling it but thats was just it settling into its new home.

Its up and running anyway so the fish will be in there soon enough, im gettin some goldfish shortly too to help it cycle a bit quicker :thumbsup:
