I'm going to post updates to this in stages...should take around 2 months before its finished. Anyway, our new tank arrived on the 25th. We had bought a second hand one but my Dad didn't like it so he bought an even bigger solid oak one. It's beautiful! This was when it first arrived (25th July)  Picture 679 by Niseag, on Flickr And in our place of choice in the hotel reception (26th July)  Picture 682 by Niseag, on Flickr  Picture 685 by Niseag, on Flickr On Sunday (28th July) we're going to get the fresh water tested, then we can start mixing it with salt, assuming its pure. |

That will look great in the reception when it's finally set up. Hope, as its by the entrance to the restaurant, no-one thinks its a select your own dinner!  |

I definitely want some Clowns, I really love the black ones. Definitely cleaner shrimp, and I want a starfish. I like Tangs as well, and I like those yellow and purple ones, I've forgotten their names just now. Basically, I want a real version of this, hehe.  |

Lovely tank SarahHound, it is stunning and will look even better with life inside. Good look on the Finding Nemo setting! |
