I have been planning it for weeks now but this will be my first marine tank I have looked at so many pictures of other peoples tanks that look so crap! they are covered in algea and all there powerheads and thermometer are covered in it, thats why I have gone for one with it all hidden and when I have more room I will be getting a larger one with a sump instead.

It hasnt arrived yet, Its the red sea max, 130 litres, 2 power heads turning the tank over 10 times an hour, filter and protein skimmer. two white bulbs, two blue actinic bulbs and moon light led bulbs.
I am going to add about 10kgs of live rock and probably crushed shell substrate.
