New Tank Build...part 2

The past weekend was the big tank move. Monday was bank holiday, so I got a few friends over to help move the tank indoors. I stipped the old tank on Sunday & the new one took it's place Monday. It was a lot of hard work, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I have to admit, I think planning it all the best you can helps a lot.
All that is left for me to do is the final aquascaping & building a cover for the stand.

New tank!!! The blue colour is due to the blue actinic lights beign on when I took the pictures. Watch this space for updated pics!...

New Tank Build!!

I'm in the process of upgrading to a 4x2x2ft.
Here's the stand, ready to be painted:

The tank has arrived:

And here's the tank on the stand. The back of the tank & the stand has been painted. We've also started to sort out the sump, plumbing & we're building a hood for the lights.
