Default Got myself a Marine tank.

Just went and got myself a marine last weekend and letting it cycle at the moment. Can't wait to get some fish and corals in there.





And a Mushroom coral that was on the live rock when I bought it

May I ask how much that set you back?

I really fancy a tropical tank but just don't have the time to devote to it. I like the Fluval Vicenza ones with the filter pipes coming up through the floor.

Looks great. I've never been brave (or wealthy!!) enough to go marine so well done and very best of luck.

David.




(PS With apologies. Anyone want to buy a Juwel 260?)
