TANKED

SATURDAY Went out to Tong Aquatic centre and bought a 300w heater with a plastic case to stop the fish burning their skin on the exposed heater I also bought  a two line air pump , a circular ball shaped air stone and a long slim air stone to give a curtain effect along with  5 metre of air tubing  for the base of the aquarium 3 bags of white coral sand and for the outside enough vinyl to do the two sides black .

Bought £200 worth of ocean stone of a good friend for £20 he wanted to give us free of charge ,  so the £20 was a token jester on our part , Ken my friend across the way got his son to put us a double electrical socket on the wall were tank is going to be  situated I gave him £30 for a hours work which I was a fair price for a job well done .

We need new lighting with night and daylight tubes and an external  filter that is powerful enough to clean 400 litres of water a hour our tank is only 198 litres so it will filter the whole tank twice every hour .
Went to the Wetherby Whaler for our tea I had battered haddock and chips Helen had scampi I know its a little bit ironic I know eating fish but we love fish .

SUNDAY
Went to another aquarium outlet at Bradford bought some mango wood to contrast with the ocean rock , they had loads of discuss fish but not many cichlids .When we got home we taped the black backdrop into place and bleached the rocks in the sun to try and get them whiter  than what they are we also finished the mango wood it will go at the front of the tank ,
Watched a few episodes of "Tanked" Steve Aoki three headed dragon tank he has an amazing house and Dj Ashba skull tank for his store in the Stratosphere in Vegas .
