Fantastic project , may i ask who built the tank for you , i've had a quote from A&C recently but they will not build on site , and also if it's not too impolite how much did the tank itself cost . Hope i'm not overstepping Steve

ND aquatics made the tank on site with sump and all the pipework fitted 2 x weirs cover glasses 1 sheet of 1 inch MDF strofoam and fit the backgrounds £2.6k all in

it would be £1k cheaper if you went 24inch or below deep as that can be made in 12mm glass

Very nice, and it is pleasant to see a build thread that actually shows progress within 15 pages, these 50 pages or more of nothing threads we have are ridiculous.

Your rays and aros will love you

to tell the truth i was amazed how they done it all

they silicone all the sides together and taped it all up then left it for 2 hours when they done other bits all 6 of them pushed it back into place

they also used a compressor gun for the silicon and about 40-50 tubes
