im getting everything brand new, stands made by jason/scroogy and tanks from aquotix. im doing it a bit different to most people and working with space restrictions as its a small room, so unfortunately i cant really use second hand tanks. in fact once i get the first three racks in i will be either selling my existing tanks or throwing them outside to breed platys or something... lol. the floor space is really limited in this room so two tiers is just not enough!

i wouldnt mind those two ibcs kinh is selling tho :) just got no way to move the bloody things! oh well.

three tiers is nice but ... all the racks from now on will be FOUR tiers high!!!!!!!!!! it will literally be floor to ceiling tanks lol
