[guidedbyechoes]

How many gallons is it? And long or high?

 

[Dorkhedeos]

I think its like 15 gallons because there is about 4 liters to a gallon.

that mushroom rock is sick! all those variety of colors is eye catching. ur hammer coral is rockin too!

yea it is about 15-16 gals LOL not big at all, and it is a long if you can call it that. if i was to do it over again i would have a sump taking water from the surface , to stop the skum from building up. there is not much but it is a bit of a pain trying to clean it off. also thinking of running a D+D nano skimmer and ozone but only time will tell.


many thanks Rob

God I wish I had enough £££ to get into marine....

Joyful little tank that! Great shots. Can I ask, what camera are you using?
What are all those different inverts?


Regards,

Not so much any more aparently - they only go for a few grand (not that I've considered it of course!!)

yea ski, i have just and i mean just made fit two 55 PC daylight blue. they have to go from the back right to the left front. there ant much room in there. i am thinking of adding a 18 w blue in to the mix just to give that bit extra blue tinge. but then i have put myself in the hold mode at the mo as i am thinking of moving up to a 55*55*55 cube, with a sump and a CL system with very little pipe work only time will tell but look out for the thread LOL .

as the cost goes, i have found it ok. i have not done every thing at once, just slowly over time . and although it does mount up, you don't feel it as much.

 

[robbhp]

well i have always wanted one and have waited for a long time , and here he/she is... my large tiger pistol shrimp click click LOL

sorry about the crap pic , but if you had one you would know how hard they are to get a pic off.

[robbhp]
