I went by the lfs to buy some new frozen foods, and they just stocked up on rare fishies
they had some nice looking arowanas, snakeheads, rtc/tsn hybrids, some scats... a cool Australian lungfish, some real nice ornate bichers...
Did the LFS have an australian lungfish?? Like this one:



The Neoceratodus forsteri? If so what did they ask and what lfs was it? It's highly unlikely that they had these for sale, but if they do I am going to get one.

Ok so Everything was put on hold for a while but this weekend i finally had some money again and i started working on the tank again. I got all the plywood and sanded it down, cut out the front part for the glass and started drilling the holes.
then i summoned my sisters boyfriend and his friend to come help me put it all together. we bolted and glued everything. and then i used the glue/seal stuff to fill all the corners. I must say i am properly impressed with what I have acomplished.

I made some pics of how it looks now ill post those up tonite.

things I still need to do:
1. polyester resin
2. place glass
3. drill holes for sump
4. place bottom and top plate on
5. attatch supporting beams on the outside
6. wait a long time till all possible poisonous substances are gone.... :(

pics comin up soon
