ok guessing time it is .....internal measurements 8x4x4 =128 cu ft x 6.25 galls per c\f = 800 gallons less say 4"from the top = 50 gallons total guestimate from me is 750 gallons....without filters

Hi Dan
Looking really god and I am so glad you got in touch with the coucil you know where you stand then and they are normally much nicer than people think

The build looks really really good well done and what a nice size will you be using it for growing on mainly or as a hospital tank?

Keep the piccys coming

Hi Dan

Looking good.

Whilst building your QT, would you be kind enough to cost the materials.

As this would be helpful when comparing the cost of a brick and fibreglass against the pre-made free standing unit

No need for the knock knock at 3 am then

( dam your only an hour away from me I was looking forward to coming down to your place and helping out

Are you going to the south east show ?

Regards

Andy

Hiya Danny,

Can't get over your neighbour mate......What a Grumpy S***

Why don't you direct the waste towards his garden ?
I know I'd be very tempted......

Build looks likes it coming on well, best of luck,

regards
Capt'n
