    That’s what we call MTS - multiple tank syndrome- at its finest :lol:
    Many of us suffer from it

    I just want to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome.
    I've joined many forums before but this is a first for me.

    I think it's also important to go slowly.
    No point in setting up as many tanks in a short a time as possible, only to find that after the initial rush you are no longer that keen, or don't have the time to look after them all. Seen this happen on a few occasions unfortunately.
    On the other hand, under the current partial lock down, most of us are spending more time at home, so it's a good way of distracting oneself from the situation we are all in.

    Hey Everyone, So I started a lil project today. I couldn't get hold of a tank so
    I decided to make one. We have a guy at work that makes fixtures and containers
    out of wood for stores and our offices. I asked him to make me a coffee table tank.
    It's not gonna be as amazing as some I've seen online but it's gonna be homemade.

    I got perspex holders from old GoPro display stands we were tossing out.
    Will post pics once project is complete

    Yeah, saw the idea a few years ago but never really made an effort to do it. Thanks to the convict,
    I've been forced to make a plan.

    So, this is the progress so far. He still needs to put in a shelf at the bottom and
    then cover it in wood.

    Hahaha don't be. I wish I could actually take credit for it. But I
    just gave the idea and our builder is doing the rest for me.
