Some more piccies

These took at feeding time tonight.

The Grumpy Old Man, he really does not like the clowns anywhere near that cave of his.

You can see the Flasher has different colours showing at different times and in different lights without even considering his flashing colours.

For the first time today I have had to add my Calcium additive, the waterchange did not bring the calcium level up as it had previously been doing. Will be checking this regularly now.

Hope you like photies.

Ok

It looks like this journal is going to come to a premature end.

I have managed to wrap the other half around my little finger, and I am upgrading already.

Buying this Tank

My father in law is collecting the tank for me on Tuesday evening, not sure when I will get it up here, but it will be soon.

The new tank is a Seabray 39"x15"x18" 38 UK gallon and it has a sump 13"x18"x16" 13 UK gallon. The tank is also pre-drilled.

At least now I can have my Dwarf Angel and am hoping this tank will have a big enough sump to be able to have my mandarin a few months down the line. I am presuming I can add some pods to the refugium area of the sump to get the culture going.

As soon as I have the tank I will start a new journal as I will need help with the pipework and connections. I will of course keep this journal updated until the stock resides in the new tank.



Much more space for my nice LPS too.

 

[bagu]

nice!

i saw that tank in the buy sell swap area; i though that you were up to something

yay! mandarin fish look so nice!

 

[Trod]

I had a look at that tank as soon as it was advertised in the Classified section and my first impressions were, Now that would make an excellent set-up and its a bargain price. Complete with sump which is a bonus.
Don't forget that SPS corals are a lot more difficult that LPS and Softies so you'll have to provide adequate lighting and masses of flow not to mention excellent water quality.
I'm glad someone in the salty section has managed to acquire that system as I felt all along it was a jolly good buy.
ATB with the new project and I wish you every success on your journey
Regards

whats going on... everyone is getting new tanks!!

Yeah looks like it M8
I wouldn't mind doing a marine version of this.

OMG how cool would that be

 

[TigerIssey]

Thanks everyone, the tank is not going in the same place as the present reef tank. This is deliberate as I did not want a room that looked like Bens when he swapped over. What this also means is that I get to spend a little time making sure the plumbing is ok and I may paint the back of the tank in this time also. Once the tank is here I can sort out the Durso and the rest of the plumbing as I am not sure on hole sizes or anything like that until it is here.

My father in law bless him is going to borrow the works van to get it up here to me and has been a star in agreeing to fetch it for me. He comes back from Devon tommorrow so I will be on the phone giving him a list of do's and don'ts as long as his arm. The mother in law is going to supervise aswell so she will get the instructions as to how I want the tank wrapped for moving etc.

Will keep everything else for the new journal though, ther is bound to be story to getting this tank up here wherever the father in law is concerned.
