Hey guys/gals well hear are a few piccies of my progress so far...I decided to take a few photos of the methods I used to

This is the old tank..


New tank!!!!!


I decided while I was doing this to store the fish safely and make it so they where comfortable and happy.




Old tank vs New tank!


I forgot to take a photo while it was in the tank. I got a big knife a cut that bad-boy out lol...its a monstrosity and total joke of a filter that is siliconed/glued to the side of the tank from new...



After I cleaned all the silicone and crap from where the filter was fitted...


Getting cleaner!!!!!!!!!!


In place with lights on


In place with water, filter, heater, substrate Happy days!!!!!!!




Well there it is guys its been a long 24 hrs. lol...plenty of work to do yet...
Thanks for all your support it has definatly helped me.

OK I couldn't wait to show you guys so I took pics even tho the water is murky

This isn't permanently what the fish tank will look like but its OK for now..I need to get my second fluval 405 repaired so it can go on the tank with my 305. As you can see I have slapped a fluval 3plus on the inside of the tank just to lend a hand to the 305 external.

I have now put every fish I own in this one big tank. And for some reason my Oscar has made friends with my spotted climbing perch ...odd but funny to watch

Some pics look a little blue as I have added a marine glo bulb and was experimenting with it taking photos

hope you like it guys its still a work in progress but when im done i hope its perfect.
