So today i am going home after work to build my new shelving. I will arrange it and take a photo so that you can all see what the room is going to look like before the partition wall goes up.....excited? haha
I figure this is the one time you will be able to see the scale of it best, as once the wall is up, photographing the whole toom at once will be impossible.
RE the marine tank.....i dont know! I have posted on a marine forum and they have just confused me more haha.
When I went into my LFS, I was quite open to buying a whole new marine tank – a small one – but the guy said if I had the equipment which I do, then its really not worthwhile. He suggested using my box filters, existing lighting units etc and talked me through it. He would have been better getting more money out of me, but for some reason he didn’t.....so I wonder if he has good intentions!
When I asked on the forums, I have been advised that box filters ‘can’ work, but I’d be better with a sump. They said my lighting rigs probably wont give enough light, so I will need new ones. I have been told that basically everythgin I have is of no use, and that its really expensive to run.
So, I don’t know what I am doing now!!
I would like to know how much light I will need and can start working out costs of running from there.....
