    I really love the dimensions of that tank! I love cubes, I've gotta get one eventually lol.

    Oh and I like the reflection of the soccer game on tv haha.

    Sorry to hear about the job loss and subsequent loss of your first tank. I must say, it cam a long way from the initial post and was beautiful. It looks your new one is well on its way though, and I really like your aquascape. Cubes rock and good luck on your new adventure!

    Hey Thor thanks :)

    Life certainly throws some curve balls doesn't it. I work in composites making things like carbon fiber and kevlar so makes it hard finding work as there are only 2 or 3 companies in the UK I can work for.

    Anyway back to the new reef well, setting up is the best part apart from the expense :p

    few picture. Had to move my powerheads as there was too much turbulence on the sand.

    Also picked up a branching frogspawn, a green duncan and small colony of shrooms ;)

    Hey all

    Been having a play with the camera this evening, some are out of focus, just trying to capture natural colour under blues :)

    The first 4 images show the difference between day and night

    We its been a few weeks since I updated and there have been a fair few changes.

    To start I rescaped, mainly as I found a new home for my powder blue. At the same time I spotted a pair of gorgeous picasso clowns and picked those up, so had to rehome my minstrals too. They were starting to show a bit of interest in the gbt nem but when I added the picasso they were in it within 10 minutes and they had come from a nem free system, chuffed :) Unfortunately the nem has wondered around the rock its on and seems to prefer that side lol it seem oblivious to the fact I have spent good money on it and the clowns! ;)

    Picked up a few softy corals too....:)

    Anyway let me know what you think ;)
