Default Dan's marine

Hi i thought i would post some pics of my marine tank, im only 15 so budget wise it has been low and i think i have managed to prove that marine does not always need to be expensive

FTS:



Mushy rock:



red star polyps:



Torch coral:



The tank is a Resun DMS 500 (exact copy of the Interpet River-Reef)

2x compact T5 lights and 8 moonlight LED's
Resun sk-05 protein skimmer (will be upgrading to a V2 nano skimmer)
(13kg of live rock)
Flow created by stock pump and a koralia nano (if budget allowes i might save up for a Votech MP10)

I like the hermit in the first photo! Mine spends most of his time in the rocks but I sometimes see him at night.

Wow that tank is gorgeous. I couldn't convince my parents to let me have a marine tank.
How much did that cost to setup?
