Hi Darri,
The base looks like a nice job, i take it you mixed it yourself how long did it take and how much sand, gravel & cement did you use
i bet you slept well that night. keep up the good work and keep the photos coming

Looking Good Yorke we could all do with some dry weather trying to pitch a big roof at the moment

gazza,, ive decided on an ultrasieve 3 and an 2.2 auqadine,,
its going to be gas heated and air stones for oxygen...

i didnt mix it myself. it took about 9 tons off a lorry...
but then yorkie and hes lad worked they nuts off barrowing it in...

i didnt post the pic of my damm dog going for a stroll in my nice new concrete base....
luckily it had dried abit... so yorkie didnt kill me today....

[dannyboy]

Nice one Lloyd,
Coming along nicley now , weathers been good to you hey
6500 gallons , you might need the 4.4
Are you going for a window
Fish all doing well, talk soon.

[darri]

Cheers gazza.

Hi dan. Drew reckons the 2.2 will still be ok but I think I will go for the 4.4 just to be safe. Glad the fish are good I think I will lose mine in there.

I'm having a shed built at the end for a filter house. Yorkie has some ideas but thinks japanesse style I would appreciate any pics or ideas from anyone.
cheers.

[Gazza]

Yes a shed is always a good idea its amazing what ends up in them...like a QT or growing on tank

[tomy2ponds]

Looking good very neat block work do you want to come and show some of the guy's I work with how its done It all ways surprises me how big a pond looks until you put the water in then it shrinks big time

[darri]
