plaster board going on tomorrow,plus remainder of timber.livestock is being cut drastically ive already sold pending collection my shoal of 17 chromis,sailfin tang as they get so big for a 6ft system eventually, and my banggai cardinal.so basically my stock have halfed.as taking into consideration there are mostly tangs in there.remaining stock are 3 yellow tangs,1 purple tang,2 flame angels,1 lemonpeel angel,1 kole tang,1orange shoulder tang,3 wild percs,1 orchid dottyback,1 male bluethroat trigger,1 single spot foxface,1 flasher wrasse and 1 cleaner wrasse.system is run on deltec 850 skimmer,2 deltec fr509 reactors,and large quantity of live rock.return is a aquamedic 6500,circulation aquamedic 3000 reefwash,tunze 6100.very basic system but seems to be working fine,corals are 99%softies with a few lps for good measure.

[Seg]

Can't wait to see how this one turns out. :D:D:D Kepp the pics coming m8.

Hi Andy nice to see your getting on with the Hole in the Wall jobby. Sorry about your break up m8 but these things happen, still keeping busy doing the tank will take your mind of it. Keep up the good work as it looks like you are doing a good job, plus keep the pics coming. That Orange Shoulder is a stunner m8, Gillybaby had one and they are a gorgeous fish which are my fave fish along with a Lippy. Twiggy:grouphug:

[andyprice]

Cheers Tangman,well ive been up a while just waiting for my mate.(lazy g.t) :D to get started again.im also rounding a posse (6)up to move the tank.weird its much bigger than my perc 120 bow but doesnt seem nowhere near as heavy,obviously we have some sadistic people at aqua medic:rolleyes:.well waiting ive been working out the logistics(can you see i spent along time in the infantry):D of moving water and livestock.ive a 50gl (food safe)drum.50x28x28 koi vat.9x5gl drums.and a 40x15x15 tank.and the facility of the 50"fitfiltration sump when in situ.so should be ample.biggest headache is my garage is not attached to house.good 30 odd feet away.so will take alot of journeys back and forth humping in the liverock and fish.but im looking forward to it:).more pics and updates later on.

[mikk1301]
