Well, here I go!

Tomorrow, armed with all the awesome info from here and elsewhere, I'm going to the pet store where I work to purchase my tank, live rock and fine crushed coral. I'm pretty excited, but I know there will be no animals for a while yet. That's okay, I'm a patient girl!

Thanks for all your help!

Cora :smile:

You and me both Cora...I've done my research, made up my list and I'm off tomorrow, wallet at the ready!!

Good luck...hope it starts off well.

Great! Both of you keep us updated and take lots of pics...Rich is right, get your wallet ready :mrgreen:

 

[Rich]

Pics you wanted...pics you shall have. I set the tank up yesterday in our spare bedroom, just to check everything worked, and took a few pics with my camera fone, so they are not the best quality pics going, but they give you an idea.

Rich, where are you from in the UK? I used to live in London a while ago.

I agree with taking down the tacky-looking backing on the tank. I always just paint mine black.

You lived in London?? My condolences, I hate the place !!!
I live in Eastbourne, Sussex, right down on the South coast....between Hastings and Brighton. Ring any bells ?

[djconn]

hehehehe...yeah, that place in WAY too expensive and crowded. Yep, the area you are in sounds familiar.

Back in my trucking days I used to spend a couple of days a week delivering all round London...I hated every second of it. Traffic, people, thieves, muggers...and that was in the best parts !

I'm about 75 miles due South of London itself...London Bridge to be precise. I go to London as little as is possible nowadays, and then I take the train...saves the blood pressure!!
