Update On My Reef Tank

[shelaghfishface]

seems like ages since i updated on here,so heres a few pictures..just so you know im not skiving

bought the 2 hammers this morning and the large pussy coral at the front- which is sulking,colours on the pic are a bit mad tho, but you get the general idea

think i may have a total revamp ( was in a rush to get those in this morning) .. or is it time for a bigger tank..

Thankyou both xx

just had a bright idea to strip the tank, get that minging sand out and do away with some rock into the sump,reposition the corals.. oh gosh i feel an all nighter comming on too late now im half way
will update with pics tommorow sometime

looks really good shelagh well done

 

[shelaghfishface]

hmm could be better but thanks.. im peeved cos everytime i try to put my hand in the water the clowns go for me

,so doing a good job is nearly impossible- if one of the boys is here i can get them to net them, but most of the time there not.

Think that looks pretty good. If you not happy why not try it with a bit less rock?

 

[shelaghfishface]

yes Ben i like your idea, but not less rock so much as more space to put it in..so ive just bought a vision 450

.. dosent matter how i arrange the current tank, it always looks "too full" be a while before i get everything together for the swap over ..prob about 6 months, but at least i have the tank and lots of ideas

haha awsome xD

here is is.. in the process of being set up for the fish that came with it. he has used it for marine in the past- hence the salt bucket full of fish-, and has a large V2 slimmer knocking about somwhere so when he lets me know hes found it i may be tempted..

Loving the look of the tank. You have some really nice corals in there. BTW, how are those powerheads working out for you??

Im soooooo jealous of that new tank!!!
we are planning an upgrade from our River Reef 94l to hopefully a custom build in the new year.
we had a problem with agressive clowns too lol think they had a taste for human blood!!!

there actually ok.. tho i could use another set ideally.. a freind gave me a wave maker so they are running on that.. i did as you prob remember have a problem with high nitrates (100+) but i stripped the tank took out 2 buckets of old sand and swapped the 2 small power heads for thsi larger one, nitrates are now down to 25... but i think for the price of them ( sunsun- £25 from ebay) you cant fault them

luke-emma.. thankyou im actually really looking forward to the swap over, but of course in no hurry as im assuming that the lights will need upgarding etc ( tho its come with 2 full sets of marine and antic tubes) but i`ll need to read up a bit more as the last thing i want is a disaster after having come this far due to lack of paitence those clowns are on there last warning

good luck with your upgrade when it happens
