8inary has this tank,,,,,,,hope it helps

yup, tis my tank.

a near 1000ltr tank.
75kg of coral sand
artificial coral - this is tmc rock - quite expensive - ive paid around £350 for whats in the tank 'sounds stupid, but you pay nearly what you would for live rock!' - it is hand painted by the company to look like fuji rock. this comes in all shapes and sizes, i just use silicone to glue them together to how i wanted them to look.
fake silk plants - high quality

pretty much it really, standard equipment thereafter...

hiblow 65 airpump - around 4000ltrs/hour
x3 external filters for overkill - around 8/9000ltrs/hour
uv sterilzer

pretty much it really

thats bl00dy fantastic lol!!!
thanks for that!!!!!!



im thinking of re-doing the tank but i wasnt sure if i could just get a loada rocks and fake coral plants (tbh pets at home ones i think are brilliant) - and try it like that or would it look completely naff?
