From Plants To Reef!

[Tiggs]

about 10 weeks ago i stripped down my planted tank:

and 6 weeks ago i started my reef......got to say i loved the plants but the reef is just another level - highly reccomended for anyone (with the budget and time)

Both tanks are stunning.
Do you mind if i ask you the cost of all the reef stuff (coral etc fish etc...), if not then no worries, stunning tank.

that is just stuff that dreams are made of ! Truely amazing, awesome, mindblowing eye candy

awesome! looks so much bigger than a vison 260 in the reef picture. 2nd thoughts maybe it isn't a Juwel! what tank is it? aquamedic?

great work!

Ace tank tho

Damn nice
I miss my salt tank.....
But the cost of creatures these days.. yikes.. B)

 

[Tiggs]

plant tank was a Trigon 350, SW is an Aquamedic perc 120 bow front.


luke.....total cost (inc. everything to go from start to now- very little i used from the old tank on the new one) is between £4-5k (stopped adding at £3.5k) but that includes lots of "unseen" stuff like setting up the salt/RO store room, ect, ect

As thats in 6 weeks I'm well under the £1k a week so good going i think

Wow, thats incredible... you must have real passion (and money) to spend that much. Although it does look incredible!

It looks really amazing! I'm actually tempted to try saltwater again once I move next year.... mostly so I can have a mantis shrimp
What's that orange and white fish next to the clown? I LOVE it, whatever it is!

its a longnose hawk fish. as i gather they have no (or little) swim bladder so can "float"...therefore they allways look like they are swimming up! Most of the time they perch on the corals high up on the reef (hence the term "hawk")

looks like a real reef in real life! (except for the florecent lights)

as a real reef looks bland and gloomy without a camera flash to brighten it up i'll take that as a compliment

I saw that fish in a mag once, and I think it is amazing! I want one!!
