Tiny Tower - Pico Build

[fr499y]

As always, I don't recommend stocking tanks this small with anything other than maybe some bladder snails!
It started off as a bit of an experiment using topsoil, sand and a few offcuts from the bigger tank. Heres how it currently looks.



The new tank should arrive by the weekend, so I can crack on with the build. So this is where we are at with the orders.

Being an 'elite' fishkeeper I'm disappointed your not housing at least one Piranha in this aquarium!

Like I said before, you do it first then I will follow

Damn it, got no come back for that.

The tank is here! Optiwhite as well which is a bit overkill on this size

Tower wasn't an exaggeration! Really excited to see you set this up.

I'm hoping the wood gets dispatched soon as the rest of the stuff will be here tomorrow

I thought you'd paid £15 for the bit of wood in the first photo.

[fr499y]

Haha! That’ll be one hell of a rip off!

You might need a step ladder to get in that aquarium.
