This is actually my 3rd marine tank, I decided to strip down my 2 smaller and pool them into 1 larger tank, even with over 2 years of experience i'm still clueless :blush:
This tank is about 8-9 Months old, it's been untouched by me for the last 3 months due to illness but i'm now looking forward to working back on her and getting some more stock in. :lol:

Tanks a 5fter, i honestly can't remember how much LR is in there now, i think it's about 70-80kg. LR is the only filter in the tank, I did run a MCE 600 skimmer but that died over christmas, I havn't replaced it yet and at the moment i don't plan to, I want to see how the tank runs without it, flow is done by 2 Tunze streams.
Lighting is a 2x250W MH unit

Stock in the tank is -

Regal Tang
Purple Tang
4 x Green Chromis
Yellow Watchman Goby

Tiger Pistol Shrimp
3 x Cleaner Shrimp
Fire Shrimp

Fan Worm
Pulsing Xenia
Toadstool
Pussy Coral
Various different mushrooms

Tanks still lightly stocked, but i hope to change that over the next few months B)

Here's a couple of pictures

Unfortunatly I'm finding it hard to get a picture of my psitol shrimp, so here's a very bad movie of him (http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~del707/fishtanks/pistolgoby.avi) (2.8mb) :P

Hopefully over the next couple of months i should have some more pictures of new additions :whistling:

That video is so damn cool! Do you have to buy watchmans and pistol shrimps as pairs, or will/might they pair up naturally? :wub:

You can buy them seperate and there's a good chance their pair up, but some gobys and pistol shrimp won't.
I bought mine as a pair just to make sure. ;)
