duggadamn! I just read through this thread here and you seems to be tenacious as hell with that leak! haha.. very inspiring! I'll start my own diy next weekend and it has been very nice following this one! kudos to you for your persistance mate!
Can you tell what it is yet? Construction has started!
- Thread starter Satan's Goldfish
- Start date
Thanks, I hope you have better luck with your build than i am. It's so rewarding seeing the fish all happy in such a large space that it's difficult to completely give up on it. Not too far from completion now so the nightmare's nearly over!
Some new pics, managed to get both the smaller hybrids in one shot and a rare outing of the Adonis! It's not easy getting pictures in this light without getting reflections of the room but if you look carefully you can see the P-bass, Dovii, RD and Stripped Headstander all together with no fighting Mr Chew the swallowed channel cat is out but too active to get a good picture of, he's still looking ver shredded and missing half his scales.

Ive just read all off this from the last time I posted, congrats on what you have done, your fish look happy all you need to do is get the lid on this bad boy and it will look even amazinger (even if thats not a word).

I'm not going to say i've got the leaked stopped because as soon as i do that it'll start again but i've not had a damp towel since top up day so might try putting a little more water in again.
Hopefully i've got help coming over later in the week to take me to B&Q to get some lid supplies. I need just 6 more 2x4s to build the lid frame, about 10ft of kitchen work top to make the bar at the front and a cousin has lots of clear plastic roofing material i'm planning on using to cover the rest of it. The Bar and plastic will just lift off for easy access. Lighting will be 4 4ft tubes fitted to the frames so i need to start looking for a suitable small starter system. The lights are only going to be on in the evenings as it's just to bright in here from the sun to be able to see through the glass during the day.

I gave up on it in the end and decided to go with youtubes 'Feeling Lucky' button Brilliant vid, cheers mate, i owe you. You were right, that music is very fitting for feeding them!

Thanks again.
