Budget Bahney cant wait to see it finished it should be excellent if it is anything like your last project..
I like the Budget Bahney, lol
suppose it makes me look like a tight git but i just dont agree with paying £400 for a tank and stand when there are so many excelent second hand ones out there from people that did spend £400 and dident realise how time consumeing this hobby can be.
and i like to set myself targets
the target for this build is £50 i am doing pretty good so far
£7 worth of wood
paint was free
tank free
filter free
lights free
heater free
powerhead free
i have some free polystyrere for the 3d background that i got off a friend as well
so hopefully after buying new filter media/cement/sand/drift wood i will come in under £50
plants are easy, my 2ft tank is growing them like mad, i can easilly take cuttings out of there.
i want to breed some kind of plec, i have almost decided on golden BN or leopard plec's L134's i want the tank quite sparcley planted mainly java moss and fern with some corkscrew viallis there will be pleanty of caves and a nice piece of feature driftwood in the tank, maybe 2 or 3 types to give a contrast of colours/textures but who knows...i suppose it all boils down to what ever i can get my hands on FOR FREE!!!! lol
i hope projects like this inspire people to think that with some time, a bit of creativity and a nose for a bargain you can do projects like this for almost no money at all.
