Hey Ya!


Hello everyone at TRT!
REMEMBER ME?!?
lol sorry ive been gone so long, i just hope all the regulars are still around.
Ive been very very busy, working full time, looking after our daughter, finally GOT MARRIED!! (yeah we love to do things back to front! Must be the whole southern hemisphere - upside down thing ), as well as starting my own business! My wife has also taken on more hours at work so there is very little time for anything around here.
Anyway i thought id give you a quick update on the current tanks.
Salt wise we have:
1 25 litre nano, 1 15 litre nano, and our two by two minireef.
The two by two's days are numbered, as ive just finalised the plans for the cabinet im building, which will replace our tv unit. The whole thing is designed to hold an 8 by 2 by 2 reef tank. Hows that for an upgrade?
Other tank wise we have:
1 1/2 foot brackish with mudskippers
1 4 foot discus tank, also housing a few other tropicals
1 2 foot discus breeding tank
1 2 foot goldfish tank (in our daughters room)
3 2 foot breeders (long fin zebra danios + long fin rosy barbs + mexican walkers)
3 siamese fighter breeding tanks
1 3 foot tank for growing plants
1 15 inch cube for growing a few cold water plants as well as cold water fish storage
several storage tanks for short term residents (for installations, customer purchases, etc)
As well as a few other tanks ready for installtion for customers.
Plus i have 7 more two footers on the way, as well as 2 four footers, 2 3 footers, and a few odd sized small tanks, mostly for breeding fresh water fish and a bit more storage.
Needless to say there is no room in the garage, as well as a tank in almost every room!

Have a look at my website below if you get a chance. I decided to make some money out of something i love so much, and to offer more affordable fish and aquariums to other people. I want as many people as possible in this wonderful hobby, and hopefully i can help with cheaper prices!

Welcome back Awe man! "I think you got it, Oh, I think you got it"

Sounds like you've been busy. Congratulations on your marriage. Sounds like she's tolerant or even enthusiastic about the same things as you. Crowd around here is about the same, some gone off for a while, got some new faces too. We're glad to see you back though!

Haha yeah youd be surprised.

Im looking into shipping costs for a container load of synthetic coral from California to here, and its REDICULOUS!

I think i'll give it a miss, way too much outlay for me by the looks of it so far.

Yeah, It's as wet as a fish outside at the moment, supposed to rain for 4 days!! I love Newcastle, great little city, it's a pity the LFS's aren't so great. Any way it will be good to see you round, i will check out your website for future reference.
