put some water in it

but being serious...i have a few more things to buy
then im planning on doing a cool scape out of reef bones
letting it cycle using my live rock
slowly stock up with fish
add zoas
wait 3 months then add SPS

right, well ive got a few projects on the go at the moment.

my new reef tank, well its 4 months old now, ish. is doing fine

but i have a new 3ft cube tank, which i will be setting up for some large volitans and my dragon wrasse.

i also have a spare jewel vision 180 (currently my freshwater tank) which i will be converting to salty for some wartskin anglers or maybe an eel or something.

obviously these are all pipe dreams but I WILL do the 3ft cube one and will look AMAZING!

Tank is stocked fully now just sorting out my Balling using a GHL want to add a couple more aqua rays and an addtional vortech so I can run 2 x 50% instead of 1 x 100% Add a GHL Weather light strip for lightning effect etc.

Still need to add my MM fuge and Calpera easy job just no time at the moment

Ooooh yeah Clean the Coraline off my tank

I am sketching up plans to build a 6x2x2 display tank, super stand and sump, hopfully it will be started middle if next year.
It's going to be a really slow process as it's gonna cost a few, going to light it with t5, homemade MH rig and led's for effect (that's if noting better has turned up)

i go and pick up a 4x2x2 that
is sumped today i got it free
to a good home also picked up
a 4.5x2x2 and a load of other marine
stuff all through a conversion
in a tropical fish shop and this guy
knows what he is talking about
he looks after the whole marine and
freshwater section and has a reef tank
of his own at home this local fish seller
gets my thumbs

also working on a overflow syphon system
for one of my other tanks that i dont want
to drill

lol, have lots of plans. Just not the time or money to carry them out

Main Reef tank:

• Get phosphates down to zero.
• Find a better solution for holding the lights over the tank (maybe building a hood).
• Finish off putting sand in there.
• Replacing all the prop shafts in the power heads (every one of the little buggers is snapped!)
• Add some DIY LED strips from sunrise/sunset effect as well as giving a few higher light spots and a shimmer effect.
• Add a 'fuge to the back of the tank so I can take the cheato out the sump.
• At some point drain the sump and attempt to rebuild it (while it it is still in the cabinet....)
• Carry on with restocking it.

Cube tank:

• Scape the rock in there and add sand.
• Replace the T8 lighting with a couple of PC lights.
• Add internal fuge for cheato.
• Wait for the clown fish to start spawning.

General:
This is where the pipe dreams start to come in
Custom build a new sump for the main display tank with integrated frag tank and algae scrubber.
Setup an automated culturing station for various live foods.
