Hi Darri,
The base looks like a nice job, i take it you mixed it yourself :shock: 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

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.
