That is where I got the Trimac from.Hoping he is the real deal.They are doing well with the GT,he only dislikes fish bigger than him.:irked:I want to get some size on them before introducing them to the 180.Have a new tank planned after tax time:naughty:that they will all go into including the Jag leaving the 180g free for the Dovii and a lot of free tank space.

awesome, i was in at pet city today, wasn't too much their though, picked up some really nice fish somewhere else though ;) will have to get some piccies up later on when they settle in, what size tank you getting, i got my new 240g made just waiting on the sump, cant wait :D gonna feel like its taking forever when its cycling!

what size tank you getting,

This is what I will be building.This is pretty much the final design now.
Internal dimensions 3m x 1.2m x1.2m , 1140 gallons
Viewing window is 2.3m x .6m
The inside will be covered in 2 layers of 450gm csm polyester fibreglass, then coated with West Systems Epoxy(pigmented black).The out side will be coated in West Systems epoxy clear finish for water proofing with a final coat of clear Polyurethane for UV protection.:)

daym, where you gonna put that bro? OUTSIDE??? what kinda timber you lookin at buildin it out of? thats insane!
Yep,outside so I have an excuse for more barbecues:D
Timber at this point in time will be treated structural pine for frame work and 18mm marine grade ply.Still working on filtration at present for most cost efficient.Heating shouldn't be to bad with our climate here.
