hoping to host the softies as im in love with the coraliamophs or how ever you spell it. i also plan on doin the old 'mangrove' skimmer trick to stay as natural + low energy as possible but if doesnt work ill be using the reefoctopus 200 series.


plz tell me if i missed anything as yea im still abit of a noob, i left room to put in controllers/probes later on. its been a great experience setting up my first big boy and anyone in sydney that is having any problems should see

plumbing solutions:
- st george aquariums a guy named keren
- majestic aquariums

all glass needs inclueding tank:
- xtreme aquariums


live rock / tank stand
- Aquamaster Aquariums
ill be adding pics when my live rock is delivered, but just so exited that it is running, not leaking, not electrocuting, not falling apart or killing anything in any way shape or form

budget = $1500
real life = $2000

on an apprentice wage...

as these people have helped me so much for setting up the tank and stil would just be a big glass if they didnt help me asmuch as they did

wow thats cold :blueshake: :blueshake: :blueshake:

good or bad thing? i can up it easily because without heaters it sits at about 23 degrees...im talking celcius
