today i added 20-25kg of live rock didnt weigh it but for £60 i didnt complain, its been out of water for like 3-4 hours so of course mini cycle time! but fortunately all of my fishies are at work since my tank was nuked by whitespot so there being treated im gonan treat all my fish there from now on so if i buy one im gonan mela or pimafix it for a few days before taking it home for the best i think!!
coming up on shibby time:
24/08 aka payday dual t5's will be put in giving me 160 watts of lighting meaning corals polyps leathers and a few easy xenias! fish will go back in as well about then. o and + a skimmer not sure what one yet v2 400 will take around 5 weeks to arrive from now .... may check out ebay.
stay tuned.

just 60 watts at moment, recon i need to upgrade it ?
i heard they like low to moderate light so my plan is 3 sections the tank will have polyps on left under the 60watt t8's, mushrooms, xenias and sun coral in middle uder t8's and have a bit of t5's, then right hand side harder corals under 2x t5's and the t8's .... hows that sound?
im also trying hard to get a skimmer but v2s have a 6 week waiting period i only have 2 clowns ansd im not adding any more fish untill a.) the ones i want/own have been cured of whitespot in the qt. b.) got a skimmer may even try and custonmise a new bigger drill it use my current as a sump thats right taking a bigger plunge so i can get everything higher tech and hopefully easier to control!

another update. ive just got one of the smallest picasso triggers ive seen, my puffer and wrasse are bigger then him he must be about 2-3 inches long.
he cost a total of £9.00 i couldnt say no really its gonna be a fair few years before he gets close to outgrowing my tank i figure. first fish added in a fair while, im hoping whitespot has left me alone for the time being! may add a neon goby and one more pred type fish then that will be final stocking i think 5 fish is enough for me.
