    your baby goes missing prior to setting up tank....you might want to check the skimmer he might have crawled in it to hide! Wow!

    ha ha.. i am still looking at adding a reefoctopus RS2 skimmer as i wanted something that packs a puntch that would fit under the tank.. luckily i can get them at cost so there wont be too much to save for...

    my rent just went up so things are going a little slower now... everything is getting so expensiv..

    still need to get some polystyrene and the wood..
    i will be cutting an old metal stand down from 2m to 1.2 for the tank to fit perfectly into it... i want to view it from the sides as well.. i will position the vortechs on opposite sides of the tank near the top (approx 20cm below surface) facing one another..

    i have gone overkill but i want plenty of flow beneath the rockwork...
