This weekends work included, removing the Juwel internal filter box. I have an external filter and more than enough live rock so no need for it, its just taking up tank space. I also added 2 Peppermint shrimp and 1 Cleaner Wrasse. Todays work will be to remove the left over sealant from the...

Went and got a Bangal Cardinal yesterday and took a few pics of the tank. The Cardinal is hiding at the back of the tank at the moment, think he is still getting used to his new home.

New tank mate, yellow tang:

UPDATE: This weekends work included: - Replaced stock light tubes with the marine white and marine blue, what a difference it makes. - Bit of a LR re scape, I will be adding more and more rock so thought it was best to position my current rock to the back of the tank now so I can build on it and...

So I read the post on how to take better aquarium pictures and had a play about with the camera, so here are a few more pics:

Sorry for the lack of updates, been rather busy. Here is about 4 weeks worth of updates, enjoy. UPDATE: After spending about an hour re wiring the European plug to a UK plug the moonlight leds are in. They have a switch which allows 7 different brightness so might play about with that a bit...

Thanks, after I added the live rock i left it a week (testing daily) and waiting until Ammonia and Nitrite were 0. Then I done a 50% water change so I believe my cycle to have finished. Have tested since doing the 50% water change and everything is still 0, the nitrates are up a bit but...

First tank mates, 6 snails:

UPDATE: Powerheads fitted and just re tested water, nitrite 0, nitrate 0 and ammonia 0 WOO HOO:

UPDATE: Went to get a water butt today to house the water whilst it mixes with the salt to do the big water change. 100lt of watter in it, salt in it and a pump to circulate and mix the salt. Will test the salt level tomorrow and if its correct will do the 100lt water change, then re test...

UPDATE: Went to get 20kg of live rock today: Will be re testing water later. Opinions?

UPDATE: Tank looking clearer today. Saltwater level is now correct. Off to the marine shop at the weekend to get some liverock to start the cycle. I seem to be getting very small micro bubles in the tank from the skimmer, anyone know whats happening here. A little bit of DIY...

Thanks, to be honest not sure yet :) This is the plan for the future but want to read more in to keeping reef tanks before jumping straight in to it. Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been documenting it so will post the update after this.

Thanks, you cant see it to well at the moment as it still a bit cloudy but its dark blue at the bottom and fades up to a lighter blue.

I am doing a fishless cycle.

So my tank and other bits arrived Sunday, so far all I have done is got the temp right and added the salt. Im monitoring the salt daily so as soon as its the correct amount I will be getting some live rock to start the cycle process. Quick few question, powerheads. Havent got any yet but I...

Thanks guys, does anyone have or know where I can find a spreadsheet that I can keep in the tank cabinet of the sort of weekly, monthly, quartley and yearly checks/replacements I should be doing?

Thanks for all the replies guys it must be annoying being asked the same stuff all the time but I will be spending most of today reading up so im ready for tomorrow. Will post some pics when it arrives tomorrow (fishless of course)

ok cool so it can be used as long as its cleaned out say once a week? Sorry keep forgeting the majority of the people on here are in the US.

Afternoon guys, Boring day at work so reading up on things I may have missed regarding saltwater tank setup that I will be starting sunday. I just read an article that filters should not be used for saltwater setups? is this true? I have a Ehiem Pro 3 comming (Eheim GmbH & Co. KG | EHEIM...
