not at the mo, that was taken with my webcam and its very poor, will try and borrow a decent digi cam off my m8 and give u all some clear pics of my tanks :D
 
ordered some spag algae from ebay,only a single £ so cant beat it cheap as chips and twice as filling!

so my pod population should thrive in my sump now right? so i may add a manderin at some point :)

kool,i think i will have spag algae and feather caulerpa in because i like the look of the feather one. was gonna get some on friday but my the time i finished work it was all gone :(

was thinking of adding another fish to my tank now i got my sump up and going. i have a blue neon goby, indian firefish and a black and white clown in there any suggestions on anything to add? at work we have a blue damsel thats a bossy lil get and attacks me when ever i put my hand in his tank (that i love) was thinking of him but i am not too sure of him with my clonfish :S any ideas?

I wouldn't bother with a damsel to be honest.

How mature is your tank? I would be thinking about maybe a scooter dragonet or maybe a bi-colour blenny or something, or a gramma or dottyback perhaps? If you are feeling adventurous you could try a pipefish like the blue-banded pipefish I have which only gets to about 3" and from my experience is very easy to keep and feed.

wait oh how much did your sump cost.?

wait oh how much did your sump cost.?

its cost about £12 for the 20gal tank
£19.99 for the 1700 pump
internal plastic i already had
£5.98 for the 200w heater
about £20 for about 4kg of live rock
miricale mud cost about £20 (tho it aint payed for yet so i it will prob be about £15ish)

so in total it cost me £77.97 REAL CHEAP :D for a20 gal refugium/sump full of MM and LR. got a wee bit of cheato in there but getting some feather caulerpa next week.
