Tank/sump Update - 2
First of let me start by saying, never under-appreciate your sumps!! :stop I am over joyed having one back online! lol
I finally have it running, the weir set, big skimmer running, frag tank cranking, ato going and my media in the sump and the tank feels AT LEAST a 1/3 bigger :bounce3: lol. I just love the nearly completed look now!

It's also peace of mind knowing that what goes in is definitely coming back out now! lol just two days worth:

The tank looks like a mess but the sump, big skimmer and my two strombus and army of invisible snails are seeing to that with good speed lol

There's another little someone who is as avid a reefer as I am too! I think Piggles is happy he has a tank he can look at as well now :D

He is very content in his spot lol
With the way I'm feeding and want to feed I think it should make for a nice balance ;) lol neither can I mate, neither can I!

I think the tank is missing something....... Rhomboid & basslet. ..... ?
You're nearly as bad as Dave! He sends me pictures of him every so often just to remind me haha I cannot wait to get those two!!!

Looks bloody great Dom! Do you think algae growth on the matrix will be a problem with the frag tank light next door?

I think I'm even more excited than Piggles to watch this tank get cranking.

That's you're not getting any frags!

Thanks Tom :) I'll be working on a little divider to stop the light spillage so it's not a problem, that or even a small black acrylic lid for that section so it's completely dark even.

I'm going to get a few small colourful fish for the frag tank just for him to watch as he will absolutely love it! lol
