I have sometimes had a look around this blog, but have never been able to spend much time here.
I was going through GOOGLE and found the thread on the algae scrubber. Wow, it seems to work great.

It's what made me join up. I got tired of having to search for the thread all the time, and thought that this way I could simply subscribe to it!

Good to see that there is a lot of experience here, and I hope that I can share some of mine with you guys.

To cut a long story short, I bought (I think) all his pumps, wavers etc. That is not the point.

What matters is that he did this whole deal in a professional way, as well as the fact that everything was packed 200%. Not only did he kept his word, saying the stuff will be sent immediately, but every single item was exactly the same as he described- Brand new.

Thank you Anthony for a really good, speedy and effortless delivery. I did not have to move a finger....

We have this aquarium in the shop. But need to either sell it or install it in my house:slayer:
BUT I promised my wife that I will try to sell it before I take it home:(

So this is it - Normal price for this complete aquarium would be R 39500-00

SPECIAL PRICE R 21000-00:whistling:

This include the following:

Aquarium - 1.87 x 0.75 x 1.1 (water level at present 850 mm - could go to 950 mm) 15mm glass and double bottom
Galvanized stand
Sump
Sump pump
Piping
Bio-media
3 heaters (300w)

Why sell or take it out?
We are replacing it with a LARGE coral aquarium (BIGGER:P than the one we have in the shop), to handle the ever increasing demand for quality corals:razz:

Photo's to follow tomorrow morning.

PS. delivery

in Pretoria = free
Gauteng = cost to be calculated
Outside gauteng = to be picked up.
