[Blue]

wow. :shock: how big is this tank?
i'm not surprised you can't get a decent shot of it as it must take up the whole room lol :grin: :grin:

[flying Jock]

Hi

Its only a 6'x2'x2'!

Its all down to the aquascaping :wink:

I do have additional sumps and refugums added on.

I think there is about 2" either side of the room to spare.

the other half doesnt like fish so it is upstairs in my study which makes it great cause i can watch it whilst being on reef sites, sipping rioja and keeping out of the way! 8-)

Cheers

You are right about the stocking levels :wink: :grin:
