My new beast

[Dude1982]

Just bought a nice 5x2x2 foot tank, been getting it ready for the last 5 days nearly ready to fill her up.

 

[Dude1982]

Had 4 people round to lift it onto the cabinet lol

 

[Dude1982]

The sanding down and Painting has begun !

 

[Dude1982]

This is what she looks like now, just got to buy new handles for the cupboard doors because the ones that came with it looked like they was from the 1920's lol

 

[carey]

Wow, what a difference! Great job! Looking forward to seeing what goes into this guy!

 

[hackteck]

nice job any ideas of what type of fish you want yet

 

[Dude1982]

Thanks carey and hackteck. I'll be going cupboard handle shopping soon lol !

 

[Dude1982]

I'll be adding my current live stock + more into this one. My current live stock includes 2 clowns, 2 Talbot damsels and a mandarin. I'll be putting my hob refugium on there too.

 

[classklown90]

how many gallons is this??

 

[Sssea]

I'm so in love with and furiously jealous of your cabinets. Phenomenal job.

 

[Crepe]

...That stand does not look very sturdy...It looks like a plywood box. A few thousand pounds I would not trust on that.

 

[Dude1982]

The cabinet is solid beach it weighs as much as the tank lol. The tank is 126 gallon about 570 litres. I also forgot about my algea blenny, cleaner shrimp and a few snails (nassarius and turbo) are going into this tank aswell. Going to finish painting her up today, not much to do till it sees some water sand and rock

 

[Dude1982]

I'm thinking black handles ? Because I painted the grooves black and I also painted the back of the tank black.

[hackteck]

[dollabill420]

[KateC]

Lmao yer it's not bad

 

[Dude1982]

Getting her filled up now putting the rest of the water in tomorrow. Got some of my live rock from my old setup in there to aid the cycling and added some of my old sand too.

 

[Dude1982]

My refugium is 1 meter long and it's bloody heavy with the dsb in so going to heave that over tomorrow too.
