New Tank

I was looking on Ebay the other day and saw a perfect tank and bid on it and subsequently won it. I received the tank earlier today and pleasantly surprised. The tank was spotless and in good condition it had certainly been taken care of very well, not like some things that you can buy online that arrive dirtier than a rubbish tip.

The tank is 60 lt in water capacity and measures 60cm x 30cm x 30cm, am not sure what brand of tank it is though as there is no markings on it.

I was lucky to get a heater with the tank and also as a bonus received some sand too. I have positioned the tank and filled it with water in preparation for cycling it. The sand looks really good in it and with the light switched on looks stunning, it looks so bright and airy.

Just have to add a filter and then can start the process of setting up a tank from scratch again which you can all follow on here.

Some of you will probably be asking why do you need another tank, well simple reason is i will shortly have some fry being born and makes life easier to have a tank dedicated to that, hopefully more can survive and not be eaten.

Have added a few live plants to the tank and water just for the present time until I am ready to turn on heater and start the process.

Here are a few pics
