My Reef

[SuperBlades]

Hi,

Not been on here for some time, lost the forum some how.

Since I was last here (2003) I have moved house and set up a new reef. The tank was initially for a planted Discus biotope, but as time went on, I got bored of the discus and added salt

A few pics of my old discus tank....
