Mike B Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Originally yes just a tropical freshwater tank approx 3x1x1 or 3x2x2. Its to sit on top of a sideboard so it rules out a large stand housing secondary tanks etc. Angels are tropical.. very pretty fish. I have a 4'x18"x18" freshwater tank with it's table top stand and hood with livestock that needs a good home... I'll try and get you a pic tomorrow if you are interested - you can have it for next to nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also where are you nd how much would you be wanting? ill check with the boss and see what she reckons. Yup - the one with the cat- you can have her as well if you like!It's tropical - and has about 150 quid's worth of fish in there, as well as heater, light, filter, air pump, displays - (plecs eat all plants) maintainance - a syphon and 20% water change every month or two.. would transport very eaily - I made the base increadibly strong so you can lift the tank with 1/3 the ater in for easy transport and placement. 70 quid? half the price of a supra tyre LOL I can list the fish for you but it's dry reading!

Matt H Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 But can you keep corals and live rocks etc in a tropical. Clown fish (Nemo's) are marine arent they?? There is a tropical fish called the clown loach that is similar to the clown fish (nemo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hmm, the one on ebay has no Sharks, therefore i am unimpressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupra Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 The E Bay set up looks cool, an Mike, yours looks real cool . I've had a few tropical tanks over the years, the biggest was only four foot long though. I find watching fish really relaxing. A guy I work with has a marine set up with some lovely fish in it, some being quite a bit of cash from what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Stunning tank mike, know of any good marine fishkeeping forums for info on starting up? Crikey just looked in yer garage too, dont do things by halfs do you, nice supra's, them recaro's in the silver one are lovely! And the spec on the black one is as long as...., well its long!

Mike B Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hmm, the one on ebay has no Sharks, therefore i am unimpressed I saw a tank on ebay a while ago that had a bamboo shark (mind your fingers) and a morey eel in it (5 foot long with teeth that point backwards). Advert says buyer must disassemble and collect. No Kidding!! He didn't get many bids!! Morey eels are nasty..... If I put a shark in my tank it would be WW3! one very fat shark with an expression something like this; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Awesome tank mate, very jealous. Ill let you know bout the tropical one, im tempted and would snap it up but would take up the entire Sideboard that its going on and tbh we wanted a bit of space for other things as well. Will have a chat with "The Boss" and see what she says tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a habit of taking off more than I can chew, but I'm learning to live with the affliction! Probably the best forum is http://www.ultimatereef.net you can go for fish only or reef - but a lot of the interesting fish eat reefs so you can't do both! Puffers are like dogs - they will come to the top of the tank and let you stroke their bellies. Trouble is they eat everything else. The tank I built up by buying/selling ebay tanks and what would have cost 7k only cost me 2.. and a lot of the stuff I ended up with you can't buy now because of conservation.. The black VVTi was Terry S's.. the spec is big, but sensible... as an average guy there was no way I could put together a car like this, and I consider it a privilage to own.. still can't understand why he sold it! The silver car was sold by Jurgen to a guy in sweden, but the recaro's went into Terry's car, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Them recaro's rock, where they on modified frames? How are they bolted in if they are from an evo? They came from an evo - so I cut everything off the runners and once I had made the basic frame in the car I just welded it to the runners. Bit of black spray paint and hey presto... It's stronger than the original, and fits perfectly. Was a very quick job to do... TBH they are VERY suppportive, you get a lot more feel for the car, but they are uncomfortable long distance - and... they don't fold forward - evo's are 4 door - doh!! still I don't have nippers or passengers so no worries.
