I MUST STOP LOOKING AT EBAY! DOH!

Well well well.

im glancing through ebay for other items - and then i just happen to come accross some fish tanks lol

Now only having just sold my 3ft ad 2.5ft tank i thought that having all that extra space would be nice -

welllll that didnt last long did it


I saw a 6ft x18x30 tank and couldnt resist putting in a cheaky bid at 2mins to the end. I put in a bid and went outside for a bit of fresh air and thought nothing of it.


Well when i came back 5 or so mins later my other half says - "good luck getting that up the 3 flights of stairs" Then i thought bugger. lol



So im now the owner of a 6ft tank - however - it has no stand - so what are the options? thanks guys

I know you don't have that tank anymore, but I've noticed that alot of people are using blocks for the bases, and some are enclosing them with wood to make it look as though there's a cabinet there. If I ever get my bigger tank for BeeBoo, I am thinking of going that route myself. Cheap and effective.

Thats what i might do if i move to somewhere on ground level
