| I went shopping this afternoon for a tank, wasnt quite sure what i was looking for just wanted a tank with a stand/cabinet as im running out of places to put tanks (4 already) so went to my MH aquatics to see what they had. Saw lots that i liked but where far too big and expensive, but did see 2 that i liked straight away, both made by Fluval but one was a 90 litre and the other 120 litre...only had £200 to spend! The 90 litre was £170 and the 120 litre was £200...what do i do!!! Gary was no help really he said it was upto me...why do men always say that, lol! So in the end i picked the 90 litre Fluval Roma tank as i also needed gravel and an ornament for the girls tank, its very nice and comes complete with a cabinet, heater, filter, lights, filter cycle and something else, food flakes. I like it a lot the cabinet is black and silver. I bought black gravel for the tank, also a tree stump for the girls tank which they love! Im going to get a photo of it when its set up which will probably be done tomorrow with help from Gary, the tank is more high than long but il still be able to divide it. This is a photo of the box of the tank: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

Iv been looking for a long time to get a tank and cabinet from ebay but everything i like is either far too expensive or too far away to pick up! Never like spending that amount of money (especially my money anyway!) but it had come from my savings will just need to save up again for a 'rainy betta day',lol!

| I have a male that always finds a hole, even when there isn't one. You can imagine how much anxiety he causes on a daily basis lol. He'll be moving into a new siliconed home on Saturday.
I prefer making my own dividers out of polystyrene, so that you can see through. It's a shame to miss out on some of the beauty when you're not stood face-on. These are rather useful and quick to set up, however.
Have you got any plants on their way? |

| No not at the moment going away next week so dont want to get any till i get back as the person i buy them from takes a week to send as he orders from Asia, was thinking maybe get some silks till i get back...dont really like them but i think its better than nothing.
Got 2 small terracotta pots so just soaking the labels off at the moment, going to use Haku's coconut cave in his part. |
