I never thought staring at an empty tank will be so stimulating. lol. Since the day i got it, I had to be at work. So every day when i get home, i just look at, did not do a single thing yet. Trying to imagine what I'm going to do with it. But to be honest I'm also feeling a little out of my depth, pun intended. .

It may not be big to some but its the biggest tank I owned, I hope i know what im doing, lmao.

 

I got some quote's that were R500 to R1000 more because I asked for black silicon. So yes, it is more expensive.... hahaha

 

Congratulations @BradK

Stunning tank, its an awesome feeling... enjoy and all the best
Keep those updates coming!!

I like it, cos it gives a kind of framed view of the fish.

 

Just an update...the update is I have no update .

Since the tank was delivered, I hurt my back, was busy at work and now have taken on a huge project at church.

I sit everyday and stare at an empty 400L tank with shrink wrap. Lol. Its frustrating. I cant wait to start on it, come September.

 

If

If u can move it by yourself its yours....lmao.

 

Awesome can't wait to see this great tank develop. Congrats on your new tank

 

TBH,, I've got a serious issue, which will require surgery. But i feel great. Just super tired. Ill be done with my commitments, September 8 and I cant wait to start with this and slow things down.

 

The pain, went away away when i rested. Just that they say the damage cant be reversed but i can manage it. Only if over exert myself, it tends to be a problem. And Im quite the active 36 year old, so Im just learning to change in my lifestyle a little. Trying to avoid the whole surgery thing, but lets see, Im postive

I tend to work with smaller buckets etc, I just have to be careful

 

Picked up some Driftwood today. So will be starting the process of filling with PFS and water tomorrow.

Still not sure of my approach with the driftwood, if I will be soaking it first ( I dnt have a big enough tub). Or just out it in the tank tmrw and do some water changes for the next couple of weeks. I know I will be buying some purigen.

For now I just gave a it a hot water shower and left to dry. The guy said it's Nambian wood,,, I honestly don't know . But it was from a LFS. Geez why is driftwood like gold.

I think I paid too much but I wanted it and was not in the mood to negotiate,,, long day, and wife was getting impatient with me.

So what u guys think,, anyone used driftwood, without pre soak?

 

Was just test fitting,, not sure if the orientation yet.

 

Hey looks good i added drifwood that was only soaked for like week or so but must say added some floss and seachem purigen and my tanning is almost gone. think its mostly the purigen lol
