Hello Again...hello!

[water_boy]

Got the first of the water today...

It managed to fill the tank to around half way, bearing in mind the sump is still dry its going to be another couple of trips to get filled up

On the plus side im getting to know the guy at the LFS shop and hes a top geezer He reserved me a nice pair of percs for when im ready with the system.

Thanks Ben and Seffie, just noticed the blades on your sig Ben, Sheffield is where i have just moved to!

No progress today as i have been moving all my posessions from one city to another. I did however manage to speak to the guy that has live rock for me and it sounds very promising, picking up on thursday so prepare yourself for some pictures then

oh right...cool...where abouts? im near j31 of the m1.

mastin moor aquatics at j30 is my usual shop, or wharf at 28

 

[water_boy]

im pretty close to j31 near the border of woodhouse.

Im preety close to Fish Inc so been tripping down there. Must admit i do not know much of sheffield so dont know where else there is. I have been to wharf before but that was in my pre-marine days so was only there for tropicals, only other place ive seen in sheffield is Blue Ocean and that was a while ago.

More water gone in today and the main tank is finally full up. Going to need another run to the LFS for the sump bearing in mind i will have some water displacement when the rock goes in on thursday. Im thinking i would like to have too much water than not enough tho so will be keeping a few barrels full up just in case. Not alot to do tommorrow other than affix some hose clips on my flexible tubing but prepare yourself for plenty of pictures on thursday when i pick up the live rock

 

[water_boy]

well busy day today and as promised some photos!

Piced up the live rock from a MASSIVE 15,000 Litre system that it has resided in for over 8 years.

Here it is in the tank...

Im well pleased with it and pretty fond of my aquascape as it has given me plenty of room for corals and lots of swimming space for my livestock

The more observant amongst you will have noticed a pair of black and white percula clowns too.

All in all a good day

Love the scape! Looks nice! Clowns are lovely! Although is your rock touching the glass?

Bet you had your pick from a massive amount of rock then

Thank you!

No it is not touching the glass, its pretty close in the odd place but not touching.

The tank was immense, had literally hundreds of fish in there, in fact there was about 30 yellow tangs

Looks like a nice pair of clowns and some good rock

I would be very tempted to move the biggest bommie so that it is away from the back wall - you will end up with a dead spot!

Had a trip to Ikea yesterday with the Mrs, on the way back we had just enough time to stop off at Interfish in Ossett. Absolutely lovely shop with a massive selection of corals, inverts and fish.

'Spottted' an absoulutely lovely blenny i brought home with me...

Also bought a large jasmine coral, but i havent got a picture of that yet as i am in a bit of a hurry at the moment.

 

[MrLiam]

Thats one beauty of a fish.

 

[seffieuk]

You just have to love blennies
