Well ive got the tank. Me and my mum went to collect it yesterday. Its abit dirty at the moment, so i havent set it up. Its in my garage. Ill get a pic of it later and post it.

The people who we collected it off were great. So nice and pollite. Everything looks in good condition, i cant wait to get it all up and running.

Well ive just took some pictures of the tank. The old owners left some water in the bottom of the tank (i have no idea why) so i took me a while to get the rest of the water out. And the stones were so dirty that in the end i ended up chucking them. I dont mind though because stones arnt that expensive and plus im only going to have a thin layer along the bottom.

I didnt get any pictures of the accessories it came with because there all in buckets, i put some salt in, to disinfect. All i need to buy now is some new filter sponges because i dont fancy using theres.

I need to re-arrange my bedroom and it should hopefully be up and running by this time next week. I cant really do it all in one go because i have school and homework to be doing. Ill just do bits one at a time. Or i could just completly leave it till a week on Friday because thats when we break up for the summer holidays. But its killing me going into the garage and seeing a empty tank just sitting there waiting to be set up! lol.GIF I still cant get over the fact how cheap it was!

Well heres the pictures smile.gif
