    Also speak to tank builders directly, if you can find them. They'll be cheaper than the stores...

    Hi Henk - what is standard as far as 1.8's go?
    I know 1.2's have a more or less standard size but i didnt know that 1.8's have a std size.

    Donny: Ja I know :cool:

    If you count in 300mm then it should have stopped @ 2400mm :blink1:

    Henk: I still want to come and drool on that tank of yours :bigsmile:
    I'm looking at something to the size of 2m myself at the moment :p
