Gotta love moving when you have fish tanks...

[*Chris*]

iv just moved six tanks at once i know how you feel
but that tank rocks mate

I wish I only had 6 tanks to move...

4 are in the process of being set up (including the one in the photos), 1 has to be moved as is (350L corner tank which is empty), then 5 tanks need to be striped down and relocated (ranging from 250L to 800L)

For those wondering what the small black disk is in the right end base panel, that is the airline control module.

I thought thats your return hole from the sump back to the tank ??

Mark, as for the head butting, that is his way of saying G'Day... If he doesnt like you he curls his body up near the surface then gives you the flick... basically a 2ft wall of fish creating a mini tidal wave (he only does that when he doesnt get enough Banana or Lychee for dinner).

Phew, that's a load off my mind !!

Cheers,

Mark

Here are some close ups of the air control gear.

Below the base are 2 control knobs to either close a specific air outlet, or increase the flow, plus a one way valve just in case.

Very nice and tidy, but I personally wouldn't drill a tank just for air. Although none of my tanks have had holes drilled so I guess that's saying something itself

The advantage of doing this, is down the track when I want to convert this to an ADA planted tank I can have C02 running through the same device. (the Bala Sharks that are going into that tank to start off with will be going into a bigger tank in about 1 year)

Aside from the weir/overflow in the rear left corner, there will be no equipment visible at all, even down to airlines. This has been set up specifically as a display tank.

Return standpipe has been put in place as well as a length of 25mm pvc pipe draining directly to the first sump compartment.

Only 30% of the media is in place, the rest will be added the day the fish are introduced as it is currently in use in another sump filter. The 25mm pipe has deliberatly been placed below the water level to minimise noise.
