Hiya
Beautiful tank Andrew
I see you have kept the rockwork low, room for growth.
Now that's thinking ahead (I wish I could do that).

Steve :)

[tuan]

Looking good Andrew - some really nice pieces you have there! How do you manage to hide all the fish though - I can only see one lonely CBB, the rest camera shy? :)

[Mode]

Lovely tank mate!

Are those Monti's stuck on the glass with Milliput? Great place to put them!

Mode

[sparky]

Thanks for the kind comments guys :)

simon maybe get together and do some frag swaps?

Taun your right the fish are camera shy! might be somthing to with me standing their waving a camera around! also all pumps turned off. the yelow tang is one of the pics and the odd chromis!

Mode yer their milliputed on to glass, is a good idea I see it on RC, trouble is ive had 2 fall off so make sure the glass is clean!

Cheers

Andrew

Wow can we have the frag tank as TOTM?

[DeepBlueC]

I'll second that...its got a better selection than some of the shops !!!

:D

[Nick Derbyshire]

Fantastic mate
Is that a closed loop on there? If so how do you find it compared to powerheads, streams etc.

[fuzed]

just lovley mate... you got prices on your frags :) where in bedfordshire are you?

[sparky]

Thanks for the comments :D

Mushie your worrying me,am getting ready for the backlash :P

Nick d yer its a closed loop in the main tank a sequence 750 running it,I installed it before the streams came out,it shifts some water and you can angle the flow more direct into certain areas,but I would of had 4 streams less power consumption,and with the controller can pulse etc.

Fused Im in Biggleswade,Its just off the A1 Id say a hour and half at the max from heathrow maybe less on a good run,the frags are diffrent prices for sizes colours etc.PM me if you want to no more

Thanks

Andrew
