Your globe tank is really unusual! Glad to hear your fishies are getting on well. Keep us updated on how the new monster tank goes and what you decide to fill it with!

Hi Johnie  :wave:

Welcome to the Madhouse!
Did you adapt the lamppost to a tank yourself?
I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide on stocking your big tank with  :fishy1:

 :wave: hi. Yep lampost top just turned upside down and made a collar with plastic trunking lid and covered it with sticky carbon fibre.
I used a 2d 28 watt fitting for top and it fitted perfectly.
Pretty cheap tank in all and is thriving. Quite chuffed to be honest.
Big tank is moving nicely now. Gonna stock with a few shoals of small fish and I quite fancy some silver sharks.
