I have no idea what you are planning, but if you are sacrificing what you have you must be VERY ambitious !

Thanks Chaps ! Means alot to me to get praise for something that I am now complacent with :)

Kim.. not sure about ambitious, starting to think "Mad" :lol:

Nice one Nick,

I love the colour of that S.Hysterix - I've been looking for a good coloured frag of that for so long that I've got no room to put one any more!

Look forward to reading about your new project ;)

Steve

Great looking tank Nick B) AWESOME indeed.

[curtisi]

Inspirational :)
Just the lift I need while my new tank is away being repaired :o
What lighting did you end up with as I was considering a similar line with 2 150w 10k and a centre 250w 20K over a 6ft tank

[Suffolk Reefer]

Lovely looking tank, and again very nice to see a good looking tank that is not the size of a swimming pool ;)

[jamesc]

Nick,

Nice job - kept this quiet, didn't you ?

I'll echo Marcs sentiments here - it is better in the flesh.

James.

[Preds]

And I'll ditto that again, in the flesh it's even better.

Lovely tank.

Thanks for the response guys!

Its taken me a little time to get this far, but as I mention in the write up, its been due to alot of help and information received thru this board.

A few replies to some questions :

curtisi : I opted for the 150watt with a 20k light in the middle, this is used when only the actinics are on for the whole lighting period, the 2 x 400watt 10k's come on for 8 hours and "burn" out the blue lighting as they are so intense. I would prefer another 400 but use a 20k, but its too late in the day now !

sps_si : yep, still waiting on Kev to pull his finger out ! - will find out whats happening this weekend.



If anyone needs any help or advice please feel free to PM/Email me, always glad to help :)

[fuzed]
