Update...

Time for an update. Since I've had the tank I decided that I will let nature take it's course with the back & right hand side glass. It's not so nice & clean anymore, but I think it's maturing nicely...




I also have to new corals. One leather & one frogspawn:

Finished Stand:

I've also made something to cover my metal frame. Not sure if I like it yet. The varnish is a bit dark I think.

It's nothing special, just something to cover the frame & to have easy access. It's a bad pic of the tank, full flash & reflection, but it's just to show the 'stand'. Well, at least all the equipment are hidden.

New Arrivals & Update Pics

As per title, I got a foxface & yellow tang to join my tank. They are settling in well. Here are they with some new pics...

New Tank Build...part 2

The past weekend was the big tank move. Monday was bank holiday, so I got a few friends over to help move the tank indoors. I stipped the old tank on Sunday & the new one took it's place Monday. It was a lot of hard work, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I have to admit, I think planning it all the best you can helps a lot.
All that is left for me to do is the final aquascaping & building a cover for the stand.

And here's the tank on the stand. The back of the tank & the stand has been painted. We've also started to sort out the sump, plumbing & we're building a hood for the lights.

Tank Clips!

I decided to take a time-lapse clip of my tank.

Here is one where I've setup the video so that it records while the lights go off. Look at the leather on the left & the toadstool shrink!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEIsaF8B0Dk

The 2nd is one of the tank to see the activities of the inhabitants This one was taken over an hour:
