Re: The Fish Tank Room Project


A veritable aquarium!!! That is a superb structure and it's been amazing looking at the development of the project. It's good that K has a focus to occupy him in the run up to surgery; slowing down a bit now all the heavy work is done might be best . . . take time to chill out and watch all those fish a-swimmin'. Lovely

Re: The Fish Tank Room Project

Re: The Fish Tank Room Project

Re: The Fish Tank Room Project


Tink, those are fabulous; it's like actually being there! What a good job the guys have done; can't wait to see it when it's completely set up and full of inhabitants! K did those rocks himself? Awesome. And, as a fellow beer drinker I was cracked up by "And Now A Word From Our Sponsor"! And I'm glad the supervisor seems to approve of it!

Re: The Fish Tank Room Project


This is a great thread. The rocks are superb and great shapes for the creatures to hid in, swim/crawl around etc. Great job by K making them.

You must all be keen to get the water in and start to get it all balanced.

I am so looking forward to seeing what is finally put in it.
