Was not planning on an upgrade quite yet but this 5x2x2 double weir tank came along at the right price so here we go.

You would not believe it took me nearly all day to get it looking like this wish I took a picture before hand, thanks for the help today Jas,Linds and Andrew hope your leg is not to hurt Jas never seen anybody with a 10mm 5x2x2 tank on top of them before :whistling: :whistling: :sign_lol:

Will post more progress when I get the stand built :whistling:
