    My new marine tank *photo update 10-4-07*

    I was inspired by Ben and Nick, both have given me some good advise and this is what i have come up with.
    I will take some recent shots soon as i have a few more corals but at this stage I only have the one fish, a butterfly.




    It's a 48x18x24 tank and I can't believe i finally have a marine tank. i've always wanted a marine tank but like many thought it was to hard. Although it's not for the beginner it's no harder than keeping discus.

    Hope you like. Oscar

    Filtration is basically done by 40kgs of live rock and a skimmer i have in the sump. The sump is just to house the skimmer and heater.

    When did that get added to the forum?

    Great looking tank.

    Wait to the algae hits.

    Algae is the main thing stopping me going back to marines. Made my tank look ugly!

    Algea! what algea, why does everyone keep talking about this algea.
    Seriously though I hope it isn't to big a problem. I'm starting to get it so it might be time to get a clean up crew for the tank.
