Well its time for the story of 2011 so far. THE TANK IS WET yes the tank is up and running its bout 3/4 full but ran out of water no big problem getting it full 2mora and filter uv and skimmer r not on at the min water level is too low for the skimmer and filter needs some clips and sucker of the pipework into the tank and uv needs some cable ties to keep the pipe on other than that everything else is running. so far there is bout 17 kg of sand and 23kg of live rock.
water is still dead cloudy any enough of me talk some pics

It's actually called a naso tang(Blonde Naso), and I'm gonna leave tank size requirements alone

[peacock]

we called them lipstick tang over here he is only little and when he gets bigger he can go into my bigger tank which more than suitable for him

its update time not done one in a while. so where to start. had abit of a cyno problem which i found that there wasn't enough flow in the tank so added a extra powerhead and now most of it has got now just got abit in a few places which i can remove by hand.

had some new livestock meanly a midas blenny a purple claw pistol shrimp in the hope that it will pair with my hi-fin goby. also some new corals had two leathers some pulsing xeina and a elegance coral.
