Wow Harry you've been busy! I'm waiting until I've got some money together before I get anything else for my tank at the moment. It's crazy how much money can be spent on a little box filled with water! Lol. Looking good though!

looking good mate

Your kenya tree is far nicer than mine!! I;m jealous, I like the mushrooms as well I;d like more of them

what are your plans for the tank for the future?

Simon

 

[Harry1996]

well simon i went on holiday and left my cabinet open so light could could get to the ref. as the ref light gets very very hot. my kenya tree didnt look very happy and i was going to buy some stuff to feed it. i came back the kenya tree was looking fab. i did get a pod boom from when sun light hit the tank and ref. so now i leave the doors open during the day.

ok plans for tank:
well im going to modify the lid to hold 4 t5s and 2 aquabeam 500s
i will have 4 t5s on my tank by the 23rd august so i can buy some sps corals.
also a clam.
then once i upgrade the tank will be a sump
