Hiya

That all looks nice and tidy, some relief when it is all completed and you can relax a bit.

Only question; do you have a net or cover for the QT? Believe me it's the saddest thing that can happen to a fish keeper to find a jumper on the floor.

I agree with davej on this one, i once has a £250 fish in a QT with no net on only to come out the next morning after only being in the QT one day to find it dead on the floor. i would never use a QT with out a net on it now.
