5x2x2 glass. its from aquariums ltd. good build quality upon first checks but ive yet to fill it and check for leaks.

yes im glad to finally have it in my posession after waiting 15 weeks. waiting on some plumbing coming but the main bits here.
 
Looking great. Mines been 9weeks and counting but apparently its close to being ready for dispatch. do they not fill test it before delivery?

the way they operate is to test one out of every few tanks. i was a bit unsure but they said that they immediately dipatch a team to my house if it leaks to reseal. they said it was basically trying to balance quality control with speed for the customer but they claim they have never had a leak after quite a few years of operating.

i will tell you tomorrow because im going to do a test fill of both the tank and sump.

the equipment is great but their communication needs a little work, a pleasure to deal with once your talking to them though.
 
Wow, I don't think I could wait 15 weeks to get a tank... congrats! Nice size and looks great!
 
Nice! Nothing nicer than a new tank!
