Not a fan of abyss. Im a 5 minute walk to there shop front and i wont even get a quote. The first and last tank i ordered from them took over 3 months and i just told them to keep the deposit when then decided to call me and tell me my tank was finished.

Just went to abyss to pick up the tank.

No black background and the division holes weren't cut the way I wanted it cut.

Very annoyed because cut mother's day lunch short to pick it up.

You should of given them a diagram and measurements as your contract. If they didn't follow the contract, you should return the tank of given a discount.

None of the tank builders were in, only the girl was in she couldn't do anything about it but to pass it onto the tank builders tomorrow.

The tank didn't have a black background and also I wanted the mesh to sit

25cm long x 17cm high in the middle of the divider. They had it 25cm high and 17cm long.

I made the order of the tank over the phone, I looked into the tank builders diary and he had written everything that I wanted, how I wanted right - they just made the mistake which is annoying because I cut mother's day lunch short to get the tank and also it's 30minutes each way to the shop. Annoying.

hopefully it was the nice girl you got to deal with. When my tank was late and i would ring to check on the progress they would always be really rude.

Ive got a tank made by them but i paid extra for a cleanish silicon job. If i get them to make it ill make sure its not a complete mess. Waiting for billy from aquaristics to reply with my quote.

Yeah you pay a bit more but its generally worth it. Got my last 9 tanks from the boys there, the last three were alright. The builder had

been a bit sloppy on once lot with the silicon but other than that I'm pretty happy. Bit of a tidy up and not noticeable, especially when

you consider we scratched it a bit getting into location. The silicon we got was standard clear stuff, not black.

Sounds like these guys don't give a rats about their quality and schedule. Sticking with Aquaristic again for my next set of tanks

after this recommendation. Really sucks mate!

Hell no! Have helped a friend back in Nz with his Petshop assisting with their setup, never again I swore after that. Its alright work,

don't get me wrong but it can become quite tedious, especially helping customers, the same question over and over again. And

people who won't listen but go ahead and do something against your advice and then come back and say it went wrong. We had a

straight up response though, which was YES, you screwed up. This is what we said, remember? And then assist them and get things

on track.

Best fun I had there was helping to put down a 200,000l tank for a major bank there. Glass being 20cms thick if I remember rightly

and being slotted into I bars using special carrying equipment. Tank looked great at the end but that was seriously hard, just glad I

wasn't the one to go and clean it each month :-)

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
