You're going to love the skimmer though, it is one wicked beast and so dead simple to maintain! :)

Oh it's a wonderful seahorse :P
Yeah I love it, I seriously can't fault it! Allows me too feed reasonably decently while being able to maintain healthy sps colonies and frags so that must say something (even though I on;y have it in a 2ft cube :P waaayyy overpowered!)

haha wow a 2 foot cube?! thats insane! your water quality must be insane!!!

haha yeah a little bit of overkill but I had planned it that way, I wanted to keep a decent amount of fish and not compromise on the water quality because I set the tank up with full intention of sps heaven :D

and how is "sps heaven" going? i cant wait to get my tank cycling!!! gahhh its been so long in the making haha. you would probably have the same amount of litres as me in your tank though wouldn't you?

 

[Sam Parker]

looks good man, sump is complete minus water!

Yep, 200L DT and a 50L sump so same water volume! Sps heaven is going great!! I have growth on everyone and starting to get some really good colours starting to come through so I'm not complaining! I might start doing a KoralColour dose midway between WC's now that I have quite a few sticks in there and some monti's. I really REALLY love acro's :P haha Just waiting for my Acropora Echinata to start colouring and be happy again, still a little pissed from the shipping. One of the ones from @Elite Corals but it's already showing some PE so I guess that's a huge plus :D

In a huge over-the-top Styrofoam box with plenty of airbags and padding so really wickedly packed and $25 for overnight from QLD. Just send him a message and ask about it, he'll really take care of you, really good business and bloke to deal with! And sps are the way to go :P

 

[Sam Parker]

When you do Daniel, let me know - would like a gold spot morph or two myself
