Here's my newish tank, following an upgrade from my Percula 120 Bow (which is for sale)

Need to up the amount of sand in my DSB, and add some chaeto in the near future.

I then let this run for a week or so, then over August bank holiday moved over the rock, some "old" water and all the stock.
My 'nem has also decided to sit around the back of the rockwork, I guess that's what I get for making loads of space for flow and therefore light around the back! I have some small frags in there so hopefully can sit back now and let it grow a bit!

Hi Greg. The tank looks great, did you get some algae for your sump of Ady. Hope you are feeling better and getting over your stay in hospital. Eric

thanks for all the kind words. Touch wood, it's all hung together after the move!
My DSB is now D, and I have added some algae and some bits of live sand from other members tanks (thanks alot guys)
The frags from Reefworks are colouring up nicely and showing little areas of growth!

Greg, I do like the look of your tank. Did you buy it off the shelf or have it custom made?

it was custom made by the guys at Sheffield Aquatics, I wanted real wood and a metal stand, and these guys did both!

Nice one. I would be proud of that if I were you. It looks traditional with the wood stand yet very contemprary. Envy is taking over my head.
