    Fishtank

    I did my usual morning buzzKIDS) then got home and saw that my fish tanks were on a lean.they have had a lean on for a little while only a slight one ,thats normal.But today it looked wrong,my mate helen said #*&*** I think your floorboards have broken....HMMMMMM, Yes It does look like that I say...(brain starts ..heck I only cleaned them last week ready for new fish)So major mission I had to empty 2 big tanks (just recently cleaned)Yes it had broken floorboards... any other fish people here?

    Nah Col', you got it all wrong. A Lasagne Square and Chips, with Worcester Sauce, commonly known as 'Black Sauce' in our household.

    And no Julie, I'm not a fish person. I'm allergic to anything out of the sea. Quite handy too, 'cause I don't even like seafood either.

    Peace hath higher tests of manhood

    than battle ever knew.

    Im a fish person!

    Have a community tank with plants and CO2 injection system etc.

    How many litres is the tanks? ALWAYS put your tank across several floor joists as opposed to along one!

    I made my own stand and forgot to put in diaganal supports... result? tank on slight lean, then bigger lean... then split tank and flooded lounge! woops!

    that was a few years ago though older and wiser now

    If you ever need any fish related advice... PM me Been keeping all sorts of diferent setups for years ay, thinking of a rebuild and setting up another Malawai tank, their lots of fun :P
