No rub down required, it was first thing in the morning, a glorious day!

Definately want pics of that (the jar in a new home, not you playing with your wood) Let me know as soon as you want fish for the tank, got a female RD and an Oscar you can have too. Still undecided about giving up my Dovii.

Shame, i was just uploading some pics of me wood, it fits in there nice now after trimming off the bushy bits.

I'd def like to have the Jaguar, but not too sure on oscars or too many other cichlids, i don't want a brawl on my hands in there when the time comes, it gonna hard as it is getting a net in there to do anything, hope you don't mind mr satan sir?

your mrs satan, she's of med decent? Italian by any chance?

 

[mike huntley]

how about using this stuff then? picked up some materials for work this morning and they had it on display, comes already mixed up. is slightly flexible, i'm going to ring the manufacturers and pick their brains, or should i just stick to loads more coats of the original epoxy???

The RD and the Jag get on like a house on fire, thought they were going to properly pair up at one point but they've always just been friendly rather than trying to make frankeinfish. They're both very peaceful fish considering what evryone says their temperaments are supposed to be like, Jag's harmless and the RD only gets agro with the Dovii when he gets a little over excitable. Can't blame you on not wanting the Oscar, don't know what i was thinking when i got it!

Yep, half Italian.

I'd check if it's going to be toxic to the fish before using it. Any doubts then stick with good old epoxy

think i will stick to epoxy, don't really want to be trying put untested materials on an untested tank, made by an untested tank builder! the odds are against me i think.

Half italian, my wife is full italian ( i'm not bragging), firery lot aren't they!

just sanded the filter box down ready for some more coats of epoxy this weekend, hopefully. i'm going to do the tank with an electric sander, it takes bloody ages by hand!
