Crackin' looking setup there. Good job.

Couple of questions, the blue fish with the yellow tail and belly, what is that and the lighter blue thingy, front left centre, is that some kind of sponge?

Cheers,
Campbell

[Blue]

Thankyou for the comments Zeus. The blue fish are aussie yellowtail damsels, they are a breeding pair. The 1 on the left with the yellow tail is the male. The blue thing at the bottom is a blue sponge.:)

Cheers for that :) I'm glad to show it off a bit now. The tank has changed a lot, and is getting more SPS orientated, but I think it pleases most.

[mousehunter22]

[TerraC]

Hi Steve, the tank has been set up about 2 years now, but only a year has it started to be dominated with SPS. I think all LFS should show their customers how it is done, this way the customers can have faith them. To mny places sell these things, but can not actually keep them long term. :) Thanks for the nice comment Steve :)

[Blue]

those sps are really taking off since you put that calcium reactor on m8.

Yes, they are m8, I would tell anyone who can afford 1 to get 1, these new TMC reactors are easy to use and not a bad price too, I think they only retail about £144.00 can't remember till I am back at work :D. This is not a sales pitch:o I just want folk not to be afraid of these things and realise that they don't cost as much as they used to :)

[lasgringo]

have ya got them in stock chris,i'll have a chat at the meet,might even come away with one,what about the co2 bottles,shaping up 2 b an expensive day:D

Nah, none in stock as yet :( I will try my best to get some in though :) they come with a presure gauge and all you need to do is to source the Co2 from welding supplies or somewhere like that, that's all I did, I think the bottle will last me about 5 years or so :D:D
