    i was just doing a water change so i thought i might take some photos i have some corals and stuff coming next week they will pretty much be the first additions to this tank that arnt fish

    current stock list
    1xYellow tang
    1XBlue Tang
    3xOcellaris Clowns
    1xGreen Mandarin Fish
    about 30-40 kg of live rock
    2x Pep Shrimp (havnt seen them in about a week so i dont know if there in here n e more)
    i run a MP40 for extra flow have to dial it down a bit so it doesnt turn into a whirlpool.

    Im currently planning a 6 foot tank but this is good enough for now. I bought it when my living arangements wernt as permanent. All in all its a good tank but not really what im looking for not a lot of room for modifications extra filtration they say you can keep sps in here but ive not had a lot of success. Oh and i got my poker table in the shot just to show you a little of my bach pad ahah stocking suggestions would not go astray either Thanks peeps.

    Like your rocks, i have a similar thing goin on in my rsm 130, although i went with more rock to water in my tank... Really filled out the space in my display. But you got room to swim and i think your fish like it
