First Marine Tank Setup(Rio180).....

[Noble78]

Well i thought i had better stick a photo up of my setup.
It's my first go at marines, so be gentle :p
I started cycling the tank at the end of November last year and it took a good 6 weeks for the parameters to be right.
It still looks a little bare as i need to get some more live rock, but i am pretty pleased with it so far.
Will get some better pics in the near future, looking at buying a half decent camera so my phone pics will have to do for now lol

Fish:
1x Coral Beauty
2x Common Clowns
1x Elecric Blue Damsel
1x Yellow Tail Damsel
1x Algae Blenny
1x Sulphur Goby

Small selection of soft corals so far
Toadstall, Pulsing Xenia, Green star polyps and a small Zoa frag.

[Noble78]

Thanks for the positives :)
Gonna take my time with this one, get it looking spot on. Then will probably look at upgrading to a bigger one lol

The Rio 180 is a good starting tank i think, they look tidy enough.

Don't think i can add any more fish though, maybe 1 more small one like a royal gramma.

Wow, love the reef bones you've placed in there and both the leather and pulse look great, super pics.

Love the nice open aquascaping, the reef bones look great and so colourful too. Great start to marine keeping, you obviously have a talent for it. Keep the pictures coming as the tank matures, I bet it is just gonna get better and better! :)

[Noble78]

Yeah it's gone better than i thought it would anyway lol
Still plenty of live rock and loads more corals too, so yep it should look loads better in the near future :D
