Would go marine, but for that size, the cost would be astronomical. Would have to be reef if anything but i dont have that much cash. That would easily clear the 100000 price tag.

Currently with everything needed (construction stuff, liner, lighting, pumps etc) its at 14K. Ordering the stuff late next week for a hopeful start at the begining of june. The builders doing the extension have given me a guaranteed finish date of May 24th or I get 20% off lol. Hopefully finished before as there's not a whole lot left to do. Just the plastering, and then decorating (I don't do decorating so I paid them to do it for me lol). Spoke to an estate agent to see how much this will ruin my resale value on the house. They don't think it will be that bad as it is possible to remove it with a bit of work.

But yeah the gear should be here around the 3rd of june hopefully. I intend to have it built by mid june. Fibreglassed and lined by the 25th ish of june. Then filled in the first fortnight of July. Fish by August . Red tail in first, then the gourami will also move in there. Keep the american tank american.

So when working in american gallons I will have the following tanks (aprox capacity)
8600 gallon tank (the 24x12x4)
14000 gallon (24x20x4)
8x4x3 (feet, and theres 3 of these)
6x3x3 (feet and theres 5 of these)
plus a load of 3x2x2's as fry tanks.
Plus a new 12x12x4 sump for the bigger tank and the 8x6x4 foot sump already on the smaller big tank lol.

A fair old bit of water . Will get pics once it's all done. Gonna get the whole lot finished, cleaned up and stocked then lots and lots of pics

Right got some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that Im getting married (as in its John, NOT mike lol he's a bit young). yeah proposed 2 days ago and she actually said yes.

this means that no new big tank. She has put her foot down lol. 2 days engaged and whipped beyond belief. also gonna cut down on the fish room. Keeping the big tank but losing most of the other stuff. Would rather spend more time with the wife to be.

So that means a lot of stuff will be up for rehoming. Not gonna charge much for them, as I've had more than my fair share of pleasure out of them. Probably just a small cost for my time etc. So basically apart from the dovii, my cobra pikes, the peacock bass and rays. Most stuff will be going. Ill let you know the list when Ive decided and Ive got a few mates that are interested in a lot of the stuff. If your interested in anything drop me a PM

Right I've spoken to a few friends and everything is accounted for, to go to new homes in the next few weeks.

The big concrete tank will also be going I think. Sarah's mentioned the worlds 'tiny little feet'. The house we are in is not big enough for us and kids with the basement as a fish room. So it's either the tank goes and we stay here. Or the tank goes and we move. It sucks, but you gotta make sacrifices.

gonna keep an 8 footer for the dovii. An 8 footer for a few of the bass and some of the cobra pikes. Everything else is on the way to new homes in the next few weeks. If anyone does want anything let me know and I will keep you as a fallback if anyone else pulls out.

No I really am whipped. It's pathetic really. But it was get whipped, be happy with the women I love and so on. And still be allowed down the pub (with a permission slip of course), or keep my big tank, and lots of fish and not be half as happy.

This way though I can finally work more hours in a day and therefor less days a week because I don't have to get home to play with the fish all the time lol

Good news guys. The big tank is staying

been looking at the costs of removing it and its alot. Plus a real pain in the arse so the missus has agreed to keep it if I tidy up round it and brighten the lighting up a bit. Plus add some 'pretty fish'. Well chuffed lol. Just basically got permission to get me some very nice fish with no risk of a tongue lashing
