Thanks for all the compliments. The last picture was taken today and its two years this month since I started it. The only reason it took so long is that once I found out how much the cabinet would cost it took me a year to come to terms with it before going ahead! :o

Very nice indeed. Did you make the cabinets or were they custom made?

Superb by the way :thumbsup:

Thanks again. Yes they were custom made. It has been designed so that I can gain access to any part of the tank and much of it is removable in minutes.

Something I should have said on the original post - My thanks to Terry Evans and all of his staff at Wet Pets, Victoria Road, Romford, Essex - 01708 744880
http://www.romford-reef.co.uk/main1.htm who supplied the Tank and all equipment and livestock, but most of all for the bucket loads of patience and advice, and hundreds of telephone calls! :cheers:
