I voted octopus, only because i think they are awsome

-added some more baserock and sand, decided to stick with the live rock so I can watch the tank change.

 

-amonia, nitrate and nitrite are reading non existent, but am experiencing a diatom bloom currantly not sure as to why. Not too worried as the clean up crew is doing its job slowly.

 

- added a starfish to the crew.

 

also noticing tbhings coming to life in the tank, if anyone can spot them and tell me what they are that would be a huge help.

 

I guess it's time to start one of my own so here it is.

280l curved glass by some chinese supplier,
Bottom pre drilled for overflow.

First off I made a messy attempt at forming a weir but hey it does the job.
Has a durso overflow ( for some reason it was a prick to tune for quiet operation got it there in the end, going to attempt to get a bit more flow but taking baby steps.

Sump was built by Vebas and also have an auto top up tank ready for later on down the track.

As ot stands at them moment I just want to get the saltwater in and live rock so i can get it cycling. I'm in no hurry to get any coral or fish at this point I want it aquascaped to my satisfaction as I have a particular look in my head.
