    Quick update..

    Please note, i do know this is a tank with a koi in it.. and the tank is not suitable.. its a quarintine tank you could say. We are also raising baby koi in there..

    Busy getting the koi up to health then he will go into a custom built pond..

    Also this is just some hardscape with some plants.. still planning but looking good..

    All thanks to my mate, looking after these beautiful fish and taking good care of them..

    He is also helping me build 3x 200L plywood tanks wich should be finished around end of the month..

    He really is helping me grow..

    Keep your eyes on this thread..

    We will be announcing a relaunch on our facebook page..

    So today we set out to build a tank stand out of a bunch of scrap metal we had laying around..

    We still need to make everything noce with the grinder.....

    The stand is only half way complete so excuse the roughness.

    Also we are still going to put tanks over the top so we still need to build that.. its a 2 tier rack.

    We are also busy constructing a fish room ..

    Will share pics of that some other time.
