VERY FISHY

We got the  Juwel 190 corner fish tank and it cost us nothing it was a freebie unbelievably kind gesture from the person doing the giving thank you kind sir ,  Helen is of course over the moon.
We collected it yesterday afternoon tea time , Ken drove over in his Discovery and we got both the tank and base in the back once the seats had been flattened .On Getting home we placed it in the front garden and put the tank on it's base and cleaned it we also  filled it with water and left it over night just to be certain it had no leaks .
In the morning it started to rain we was up at half six emptying the tank into the water butt , I had to take the top of the base unit and the feet off to get it through the door of the van 27" just went through  the entrance any wider and we would have had to take the bottom panel off  too .


I have to admit it looks right at home in the corner of our living room we had to move the bureau and tv and a few other bits to accommodate it but the living room is looking better for it .


We need to get bits and pieces for it some sand and ocean  rocks a back drop for the two sides a new heater as it is shot it will take a few weeks to get it set up right  and Led night lights but we have more than we could have wished for .
Helen damage on of the panels carrying it in  which needs gluing and fixing back in to place and there is a mark on the top of the front lid which is easier enough to fix so all in we are happy , and of course we do need some fish., bright coloured Milawi  Cichlids.
