Lovelly tank but I think the yellow tang could do with feeding up a bit.

[Northern Man]

Thanks for the comments gents :) Pavlo, the tang was rescued from a very sorry looking tank owned by someone I worked with about three months ago :( Believe me, it looks a lot better than it did.

Cheers,
Mike.

anyone else got the red mushrooms featured in this tank?? mine have actually started to gorw now but took ages to settle in..N

[Northern Man]

Cheers for all the kind words everyone :blush: As I said in my write up, I was gobsmacked when I was asked to do this feature as I know that there are loads of fantastic reef tanks out there owned by our BB members.

Best regards,
Mike.

You shouldnt be gobsmacked.

My tanks only 40 gallons two, so now i know i can make it better.
How do you keep the nitrates so low?
mines at 5ppm and thats only because its got 2 fish!!
Great tank m8, well done

:bow: chris allsop

[Northern Man]

Hi Chris, thanks mate - I can only attribute the nitrate level to a combination of RO for water changes, live rock and the feeding regime (three small meals per day as opposed to just the one)

HTH
Mike.
