My First Marine/Reef Attempt

Looks like you added some rocks, but the corals also definitely filled in some. Looks great

 

Wow great tank! You will love the vortech I placed mine about 6 in down on the side of my tank and it works great.

 

Thanks very much

I have added more rock actually, another 25 kilos to the 60 in there not so impressed with it though now its in the tank. Very light & quite a few pieces are pretty white. Will be keeping a close eye on my chems over the next few. Sump runs very well though & I'm hoping the 60kg in there can take care of any ammonia. Will see

I'll be honest i am still fairly new & not up on all the names lol which one is the Goniopora?

I am very pleased with my Vortech but I want one on the other side of the tank now lol get those invasive powerheads out

 

The Goniopora is the one right up front toward the left in the sand bed, common name flower pot.

Ah thanks Yes that coral is doing quite well although it does have flat worm living on it! I had been told that doing a fresh water dip should sort it but I have not read up on that yet. They don't seem to be getting any worse but want to rid them as soon as I can!

 

Your tank is AWESOME. The blue gorgo and that toadstool on the right look amazing. How long has this beast been up and running?

Loughborough... Where is that?

 

Sweet tank!

I love that hammer coral and the blue gorgonian. I see you have an angel fish in there aslwell, is it causing you any trouble??

Btw, crysis, assassins creed, bioshock, fallout FTW!! ;D;D;D very nice.

 

You should mix T5s with the TMC Aquabeams, since they are right there in the UK.

 

Thanks very much the Gorgonian is amazing but it is deteriorating. I feed it daily but think I am just tiding it over. I am looking to disappointingly move it on to a better suited tank. The Toadstool is doing very well. It has more than doubled in size in the 6-7 months it has been in. It also seems that my clowns are showing interest in hosting it! Typical when I put a Rose bubble tip anemone in for them lol

& Loughborough is in the UK I'm English

Thanks the hammer was lacking a little in colour when I purchased it but has greatly improved. They are lovely corals. Same as above for the Gorgonian lol
There is no Angel in there I have all my fish listed in my signature I think
& spot on with the figurines lol

I have been looking at different LED set ups. I will be upgrading to them this year but if i'm honest i'm not greatly impressed with TMC's kit! Lots of research as always Thanks for the input

 

I've had another quick look at my pictures & I assume you are referring to the fish in picture 3 named "the right side" the grey looking fish to the left of the Yellow Tang? That fish is actually a Mimic Tang & it is mimicking an angel fish
