pics of my tank

for those of you who are interested lol.....

theres nothing in there yet, and the pictures arent all that good... heres a couple of piccies of the new tank....
i will post more when i dare to put fish in :2431:

Love it Shelley are they real plants, they look really nice

What is the rock called again coz it's very nice

the long plant up the back isnt real.... we got that to try and hide one of the filter pipes.... all the rest are real though.... we got them quite cheap.... 10 for £12 ... and the rock is ocean rock... there was about 5 or 6 large pieces for £29.99 in a sack... we were gutted about the plane though, it cost £35 from the garden centre as we didnt see any in the aquatic place.... but when we went back the next day, they ahd loads of brill ones out on display for a fraction of the price we had paid for the plane ..... the OH was gutted as there was a lovely submarine wreck whih was twice the size of the plane we got and for half the price :2431:

:san41: 10 for 12 quid, I can only get them 4 for 11 quid

I waould have zillions for that price.

Is the rock special or ornaments

:san41: it's brilliant shelley :san50:

its a great price isnt it .... because i was setting the tank up for the first time, he let me have a couple of tall plants in the price too, but normally it would be all the others...

not sure about the rock hun, it was just called ocean rock for indoor aquariums.... but to buy other rock that looked similar it was £2.50 a kg.... so this was a bargain and it looked better than the other stuff too.... .... its got little nooks and crannies inside them for little fish to explore or crabs to hide in :2431:


cheers karen.... the next big step is fish :2431:

Looks lovely shelley.

thats fantastic, are you having tropical or cold water fish?

im having tropical fish hilary.... *touches wood* lol

o never sloped the gravel But looks good

do u need to put fish in it
:2445:
Its a deep tank so will be good for angels but get them small as u can

i know... i forgot to slope the gravel :2431: .... i asked the assistants and they never said to slope it, just said to make sure it was no deeper than an inch, inch 1/2 .......

it does look good without fish in it lol..... i was thinking of angels too.... why get them small?

they grow very quick and small ones are a lot cheaper they try sell the larger ones as pairs to charge u more

oh right, cheers for that info... will tell the OH.... we want to get this right lol

Im jealous!!!! Its lovely Shelley :love:

They told you not to have the gravel deeper than an inch and a half jeez mine is at least 4 inches deep at the back of the tank sloping to about an inch and half in the front :2431:

Thats very pretty Shelley

shelley did you remember to put the water in this time lmao......................runs for cover!!
