Temporary Juvie tank

[Proteus]

Whilst I move things around I have upgraded my little gems from there 2ft tank to a nice big 4ft tank (on a HUGE stand, for my new 6x2 tank)...

Step by step pics...

1, Tank is a little small for the stand, but it works... filling with water.

2, Water level ok, add heaters, and 2 sponge filters (one straight from the 2ft Discus tank) (Powerhead was used to circulate water when filling - not in use now)

Can you tell me where you got that stand from? It looks so cool. The wood grains create a wonderful finish. What wood is it made from?Do they have a website where you can browse and see more different models.Your juvies are great-looking too.

those pearl turqs are fabulous!! wouldnt mind one of them !!

[Proteus]

aks_bng... where are you from??? will give you more details, and I will take a pic as I am half way through staining it...

flukes... try send a PM or E-Mail to Oxheart... I got my pair through him at the ADA meeting.

[flukes]

iam guessing his in sydney huh? ive had enough with interstate buying, my whole order just fell through with Kev, because the bank is a pack of &*#$%'s. If i do a direct deposit it should go in there then and all iam asking for is 12hours later, but noooo!... banks suck.

[Proteus]

If you do a direct transfer online it is instant!!!

No waiting...

:?

[kevkoi]

No worries Scott, u'll still be getting ur fish.... we just go into 'flexible mode' to accomodate for unseen circumstances. :lol:

cheers
kev

[flukes]

Your a champ Kev, i should have sorted it out with the bank before hand.

[Proteus]

Way to go Kev...

and SLS!!!

it is great to see some trust and goodwill out there...

Thanks Kev, George, Michella

MM, that is awesomw. I love new projects like that. Cannot wait to ssee the out come.

Also wondering..MM, what was the price on those Bunga Rayas? If you do not mind me asking?

[Proteus]

Annie, converted they would be about US$80-85...

not the cheapest fish in the sea, but worth every cent in my mind...

:D

[tennhound]

Proteus Love the stand and the little ones. BUt sad to say I think you have got to many.

SO... you can send them to me. I still have plenty of room in my 55 gallon for them. I promise to send them back when you have more room.

[Proteus]

oh wait till you see what is there now!!!

:roll:

[Proteus]

ok... 4ft tank has been drained and removed...

6ft tank put in place, cleaned, and 1/2 filled with treated water (due to sump-filter operating on another tank) 3 heaters to rapidly heat tank...
Doors have been removed from stand to make installing the sump (mini-reef) easier as well as making them easier to stain...
