As the adult channel does when you order a movie, keeping your purchase information private on your credit card statement - we now offer a similar service. :rolleyes: :eek: :D
Buy online from us and if requested we can change the name that appears on your statement to British Gas or Yorkshire water m8. :D Keep the wife sweet!

i will have to bring the camera over next time, them pics do not do this tank justice as lee says. you should not be going anywhere tonight, unless it's to the offy for some beers, put some music on and sit in front of the tank for a few hours.
just had a thought andy, when you come to plumb the reef flush in it might be an idea to redo the wier comb in white eggcrate, the comb as it is might not cope with the additional flow.
this tank looks awesome in the flesh, definitely one of the best i've seen, and considering everything went in today, the corals look cracking!!
