Thanks very much I was trying to achieve an island look no luckily not, the flooding in victoria is mainly in the north western suburbs and I live in the south eastern suburbs so very lucky indeedLooks very good Matt, liking the islands look. Pity about the Angel. Have you been affected by the flooding? - and congrats on the crickets one-dayers cheers Greg
Thanks very much! stay tuned for more pics, having alot of trouble finding the right coral & fish at the moment but ive learnt to be patient hahaThis is the first time i have read this thread. Beautiful tank, a real joy to see.
Wow thats awesome! but if only i could buy that package when i go to the LFS next i will pick up some more cleaners however i havent seen much around lately :S because of the floods up in Queensland alot of the marine shipments have been delayed so i guess its still a waiting game. Still looking at the Octopus PhosFusion 1500 stay tuned for more pics soon, hopefully will have some more stock in by the end of this weekMatt a here a lot,
