    Very good first attempt. Tank looks nice and clean with good water movement, no algae and the fish look healthy with nice coloration.

    Good Job:)

    Starting to shape up into a nice little reef there! Say, your tank looks "bright", what lights do you have over it? Also, maybe go in and fill out a profile.

    hi guys thanx for all the replies, im really quite pleased with it and some new live rock has just been added (from my brothers set up) along with a few corals, i don't know what they are but when they have settled i will take some more pictures.

    im a little new to all this but i have copied and pasted the tank spec here, im sure it will be a better discription than i could do...:p

    The AquaMarine 900 is essentially a larger version of the extremely popular AquaStart 500. It has been specially modified to accommodate the MariSys Marine Filtration system. The specialist cabinet is extremely well ventilated and has multiple outlets to accommodate not only the MariSys but also a Chiller if required.

    Water proof plastic hinged lid that opens up completely for easy acces to the tank and lighting. The T5 light unit features an external ballast with analogue timer.

    Complete with Aquarium Heater and all connections

    AquaMarine 900 complete with MariSys Marine System

    A totally new product on the world market from Aqua One is the unique MariSys filter, an all in one filtration solution for saltwater aquaria. Apart from excellent filtration performance, the surface skimmer with return flow module is self priming thanks to the integrated peristaltic pump, thus ensuring if power is lost the filter does not overflow and automatically restarts when electricity is resumed.

    Specifications

    Volume - 176 Litres
    Tank Size - 90 x 40cm x 56cm
    Heating - 200w
