Hi all

Now my algae situation has seemed to have died down (touch wood lots:rolleyes: ) I thought Id put some pics up.

The tank has no sump it just relies on LR and circulation,a turbo floater 1000 skimmer and a phosphate reactor.

Lighting is 3x150w 10k halides, I know this is a bit much but I had my upgrade next year in mind when I bought them.
now pics:D

Very nice tank Dal - like your gramma pic too ;)

The deelies in your last pic look like majano's to me. Might be worth getting some Joes Juice or suchlike and zapping them now before they get out of hand ;)

Hi all

Been away from forum for a while as I have been so busy with fixing and building cars:rolleyes:
(the reason: http://www.reefcorals.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=20912#post20912 )

The upgrade is looming (got the tank:D ) so I thought Id better get my fishy head back on.
My tank has been over run by Caulerpa but Im trying to keep on top of it:rolleyes:

Heres some most recent pics I have hope you like.

I tried to keep circulation in mind also, There is a large void in the middle underneath the lr for fish etc
