Beano Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi everyone! Long time no visit! My fish tank stand broke last night, and subsequently my tank is now on a 10 degree angle... I don't know why these things can't happen on the 3 days off I've just had, and why they don't happen in the day time as opposed to 11pm. I have been predicting this day for the last 2 years but never did anything about it *smacks head*. Anyway, I want to buy a whole new set up. Does anyone know if this place is ok? Are the stands quality? I would prefer one of those decorative ones rather than just boring pine, perhaps with the tank that has the lights built into the lid, but I know those have downsides too. Does anyone suggest a particular set up from this site? I'm looking for 4 foot setups. http://www.aquariumsrus.com.au/tanksp.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristin Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I bought one of their standard 4ft stands and a tank, it does the job...the edges on the tank aren't smooth/buffed but I haven't cut myself on it. I put a hood on it with a light in it, it looks good but I think the cabinet would look a lot nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Another shop was having a tank sale so I went there instead. Got a nice white finished one. Pretty well the one I've been wanting for a long time. They're delivering it monday. YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beano Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'll have to get off my butt and put up the picture of the old tank tetering on the stand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Lucky your tank didn't come crashing down to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beano Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Ha! Shun the non-believer!!! I don't have betta anymore. I was studying for part of my specialist exam (which I failed, but it's really really really hard, so I didn't expect to pass straight away) and thought "I need to cut back on the betta load". I either sold or gave them away to people on this site. I hope they took better care of them than I did. They get quite demanding when there's so many to look after, I really over extended myself. So right now it's just Buzz and the 2 silver dollars in their 40L storage tub awaiting new tank delivery. Its coming at 5pm. @Bettarazi - yeah, I was freaking out when I saw it, had a proper adrenaline rush and my hands were shaking. After I realised it had stopped on it's 10 degree angle, I slowly started to take out water until it got low enough to get the fish out. Shame I hadn't worked it out sooner, it had been creaking during the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
