Its actually 3 pieces. I sweated blood staring at pictures of redmoor for hrs before picking these 3. I had a strong image in my head how I wanted it to look and was lucky the wood went together perfectly.

You have done a very good job because you can not tell it is made up of different bits and it looks very natural,will look great with moss and plants in and around it.Have fun:)
 
Finally lindy. Its going to be a belter this one. Was actually going to say cracker but I don't like saying that phrase when tanks are involved.

Looks great now its centred etc and goes beautifully with the cabinet. Need to get the bits sent off to you now so it can get going or youll go crazy staring at it empty

Looking forward to it. :D
 
Thanks Alistair, will send you the list :D

Hi lindy, glad to see the cabinet painted and ready, you've done a nice job there. :) looking forward to seeing it all develop.
 
Well this is on hold for a few weeks after I complained to the tank company about the messy silicone and unlevel tape so they have offered to remake and deliver a 2nd tank. I've accepted the offer as frustrating as it will be to wait :(

Ah bummer but at least they offered you a replacement!! Looking forward to this lindy, I have enjoyed all your tanks so far :)

As said great wood looks great and will fit perfectly looks like was made for the tank lol, also great job on cabinet , subscribed and looking forward to seeing what you have in store for this one


Thanks Dean
 
Lindy,

That's going to look great! I'm jealous of the Redmoor wood you folks get over there. It's really nice and has an old school European feel like what I used to see in aquarium books. Looking forward to seeing this tank grow and evolve.
 
Wow! Very nearly 200l in a nice compact shape. The depth will make this something special I'm sure:cool:


Sad about the silicone and wonky tape (putting it right is nice but getting it right first time is just good business sense and I can't understand sending out anything less than your best:facepalm:)
 
Yes, thats definitely me, European old school :rolleyes:

And while the cats away etc etc

Would you mind sharing who the tank manufacturer was? I'm looking for a big'un and I'll go thermonuclear if they send me a 200cm dud :mad:
