Default Marine Tank....
Got a few pictures of my marine setup, was planning on doing it last week but my internet router packed up but I'm back now!

The tank is 8ft x 2ft x 2ft and has:
3x 250w halides,
Red Sea MaxPrizm Pro skimmer,
2x Seio M 1100 powerheads,
4x Fluval 820 powerheads,
SQWD wavemaker,
a sump thats about 3ft too small
and a phosphate reactor that leaks.

Its been running for around 20mths and water parameters are all pretty much spot on except Nitrate which is around 40ppm. Struggling to get it down therefore won't be trying any SPS until its lower. Could also do with a Calcium Reactor too but there are toooo expensive!

absolutely stunning, I would have thought more in the region of about £3000.00 with the lights and every thing else you have got in there, to get his freshwater tank any where near as stocked as that ?
