its been a long week first we had the builder in for the new stand

then i had all the fun and games of taking the weir out, thats when i discovered the mirrors over the weir glass, all the mirror peeling off and a heavy dose of silicon, well lets hope its not true abour years of bad luck:rolleyes:

saturday morning finally got tank onto stand
4821
easier said than done

siliconed all tank connectors and got weir back in place and then at 3 o'clock sunday afternoon i managed to turn the ro on
