Default My Marine Tank So Far...

Well I decided to get a tank with the plan of setting up as a reef tank. Not done too much so far except spend alot of money! Lighting alone has cost me over £500.

Few pics anyway to chart my progress.

















Got the RO water to go in now just need powerhead and live rock to get things going!

Hahahaha Wait 'till you stock it. Then the bills will really mount up!
Looking forward to seeing it mature over time. Good luck!

Hi Jamie yes I have made some progress. I have bought a Polario 22000 and got it filled up with water and salt and a bit of rock. Just getting another 30kg of rock tomorrow so will likely take pics then! Can't wait to get some fish and coral in!
