    Got some new goodies today!! Got 2 x diffusers, 4 x brass check valves, some black Co2 tubing, and 2 x beautiful bubble counters!

    So now all I need is some glass and water right??? Awesome. It's all coming together!

    I will certainly try my best. It's going to be fun in a 600mm x 600mm cube! Lots of area for plants and scaping possibility.

    It's almost ready to be revealed. Almost.

    Personally I love cubes. Creates more depth and 3d effect than normal tanks.

    Totally dude! Also, it's a great amount of water to keep schooling fish. And it's a perfect size. It's a standard 4ft tank in a 600mm square!!

    It was in jest.How many tanks you gone through to get to this point?:p *if* I was you, i'd rather go rimless,shallow, wide and long, more real estate for plants. Guess it depends on where you planning to put it this time

    I have had no tanks since Nov last year, one plus is that electricity consumption has decreased from 1200 to 400 per month. Miss having fish a lot

    Sheesh! That's hectic! Well, I'm working on a few things at the moment, so you might want another tank fairly soon!! LOL!

    I want a smaller tank. It will be rimless. Just not too shallow. I like the depth.

    It's 2 months later now, do you have the tank built yet?
    I'm keen to see how it looks, even if it's empty

    LOL!! Thanks guys...

    I don't have a tank built yet... I've been trying to get everything else rolling before doing the tank, but the tank will be built very soon.

    You could come visit, but I don't have anything to show just yet... No tank, the shipment will be here in around a month or so... You could come see my Staffies if you like??
