Would you like our studio aquarium?
We're looking for a new home for our studio tank? Would you like it?
Email us if you want our old studio set up!
We've recently relocated to new offices in Peterborough and there's no room in our new photographic studio for our previous studio tank.
So, rather than chucking it or selling it, we thought we'd give it away to one of you.
It's a 100 x 45 x 45cm Aquariums Ltd all glass tank with glass cabinet and an OptiWhite front, and currently has a 3D background siliconed in place from its prior use in our Sri Lanka biotope series.
If you'd like the tank, for free, please drop us a line at editorial@practicalfishkeeping.co.uk and we'll randomly select a winner later today. (Sorry, the tank has now gone. Please do not email.)
If you are picked you must be able to arrange collection of the tank yourself (two strong lads with van required) and it must be taken away within the next week as our former office is being cleared.
Good luck! We'll draw the competition at four this afternoon.

"Very selfish of you not having an office near Cornwall - how I am supposed to pick up my tank?"

"Yeah a bit too far for me too. To be honest I picked up this size tank before and actually I did it with me and my Dad and we used our Picasso so you don't need a van, just a good sized car."

"Well done PFK for giving someone the chance to have a stunning tank. Shame now to see it up for sale in the classifieds..."

"Agree with the comments above, its great to get give away's, but to see them being sold for profit within a few weeks is not so good. I'm sure someone will end up with a quality set up though."

"Thanks for all the 'kind' comments... couldn't keep the tank due to space issues so decided to move it on in an attempt to raise funds for something special that does suit my space constraints.
