UK ReefMeet

[Navarre]

Ok well most of you know that i attended a Reef meet at Warrington over the weekend.

Nice little place called Acropora House and it had a fantastic display tank!
Count the halides.. and yes each one if 400w

Here are a few shots from the side of the tank.

It was a fantaqstic meet, lots of people and loads of stock to drool over

Here is a photo of a plating Acro.

Sorry about the reflection... Here are some scribbled Anthias.

This is a shoal of Purple tangs in one of the sale tanks

This is a pair of black and white clowns with eggs in the main tank.

And my purchases over the weekend?

Cool, is that tank in a shop or in a private house?

 

[Navarre]

Both...
He runs the shop from his home.
The house is enormuos (sits within 58 acres) and the sumps and sale tanks are ion the house cellars. (the cellars and te rest of the house was used in WW2 as a hospital)

 

[Darrell]

The Large striped fish is a Sohal Tang and the Purple fish with the Yellow half moon on its side is an Asfur Angel.

whats the big fish called in the forth pic

 

[Navarre]

No sure to be honest. It arrived at Marks (the owner) as a species of Bristletooth Tang and was told it would only reach 6 inches maximum. That was 18 months ago and in this short time its now the largest fish in the tank and is almost 18inches long!!! Err.. and it has still not stopped growing!

lovely fish though but to big for my tank
