Thank God thats finished

[diamondtiling]

Phew.............
that was a long job but it needed doing. I had her in doors giving me stick about the fish tank, "it needs cleaning, she kept saying."
Anyway I spent all week getting it back to its original splendor and the fish just love it, I am sure they smile when they see me enter the room.
It is a tadge on the large side I'll admit but I don't care, fish are my "thing" you see, I like to get in and amongst them so that is why I installed such a massive tank in the spare bedroom. My mate came to help and he brought his old cine camera so I have put a bit of footage together for you all to have a look at, Now we are not brilliant film makers but to be honest I think its turned out not too bad, we stuck a bit of calmy cooly music on it to cover up the missus shouting up the stairs and the fact that a load of my other mates are messing about in front on the camera, at 0.38 you can clearly see my brother flapping his hands like a loon.

Enjoy.............3,2,1 and action.

Not sure who they are but one of them need to sort out his buoyancy, crawling around on the tank bed like an amateur at that depth....:yikes:

In the tank Joe with my rubber gear on, those walls are 600mm thick acrylic sheets, 35m long, 27m width and 10m deep, that is some engineering project.

Here you go guys and girls, a bit more information about diamondtiling's Fish tank...

Located in the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan, the enormous tank is some ten metres deep, 35 metres wide and 27 metres long.

It holds a staggering 7,500 tonnes of water - roughly equal to three Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Eighty species live in the Kuroshio Sea tank, including yellow-fin tuna, bonito (a type of large mackerel) and manta rays.

But the daddy of them all is the world's biggest fish, the whale shark - which can grow to be 12 metres long and needs a quarter of a tonne of food every week.

Only three aquariums in the world have tanks large enough to house these giant creatures.

The four whale sharks at Churaumi move around comfortably - swimming diagonally past each other and feeding with their long tails touching the plethora of colourful corals at the bottom of the tank.

Rather than hand-pick fish from around the world and force them to mix in unfamiliar waters, the emphasis in the Kuroshio Sea tank is placed on local sea life.
All the species housed here can be found thriving around Okinawa - and even the water itself is pumped in from 300 metres offshore.

It is no surprise, then, that this titanic space requires an equally large observation panel.

The Kuroshio Sea: The world's largest fish tank in Okinawa, Japan has a focus on local sea life
The world's largest aquarium window, it measures a staggering 8.2 metres by 22.5 metres and is more than 60cm thick - this is necessary to stop the tank from collapsing under the huge water pressure placed on the glass.

It was constructed from seven acrylic-resin sheets, which were stuck together using a strong glue with a secret formula.

The appearance is dazzling and the window is so clear that each year millions of visitors can believe, for a moment, that they have stepped into a magical underwater world.
