hey guys,
recently acquired a 4x2x2, kudos to Saundo (from al) and Paul for making it possible. And shoutout to ILLUSN for giving me advice

So got this tank on sunday, its a 4x2x2 display quality, (no noticeable scratches), 10mm panels and 15mm base, its got 2x 25mm holes drilled and 1x 15mm drilled.
Still got to give it a good clean, and scrape of the paint at the back.
also got to build the stand and look for a sump and pump.

anyhow less talk some pics lol

Excuse me if someone has already asked this question but I was wondering what type of Geos you have there? (They're some nice looking fish)

Cheers, Luke.

nah also bought some Zeb's, honestly swear they look like peruvian altums! lots of spots and complete bars!
So cheappppppp tooo!

The red backs are good too, they are abit more skinnier then the zeb's, but sure have more colours in the fin and have a slight orange shoulder developing.

thanks.
if anyone is wondering these pics have been slightly altered with photoshop, just to adjust brightness and to clean up random particles floating around and some extremely blurry fish in the background :D also to blacken the background
