New marine setup

[Aquascaper]

Well this is the beginnings of my first marine tank

The two fish are Graham & Beryl, both damselfish (I think), and they have had a tough time so far. They were owned by my friend who, despite advice from the LFS, decided that he wanted an instant marine tank so went out and bought the bits and pieces but got bored after 6 weeks of having no fish so got 6 assorted fish. Everyone but Graham & Beryl died so he gave up on the tank and didn't clean it or anything.
He saw pictures of my tropical tanks and said that he wanted something like that instead of his marine tank so I said I would help him set it up in return for his stock & equipment at a discount price.
Anyway, I got the fish home on friday along with the live rock, crabs & snails and everyone seems happy in their new home (they can at least see out now).

(Sorry the photos are blurry but i can't get too near the tank or they get spooked and hide in the rocks)

Your collecting some very nice tanks Aquascaper. When are you getting the Discus for your planted tank?

Well, we're going away for xmas for 2 weeks so i'm not really wanting to get them before then as there's no-one to look after them while we're gone. Also Discus prices are going to start going up from now till late January (as they do every year) so it looks like late January or early february before I get them.
My LFS has a new brood at the moment so I may get some of them, i'm not sure.

Still, this new tank is going to sap all my disposable income for a while anyway
