ok,about 8 weeks ago I started to order stuff so I could upgrade from my boyu tl550.the marine side started for me in October so im new to it and will be asking advice as I go.i was keeping tropheus then in October I seen a tmc microhabitat for sale local to me so thought id give it a try.i was hooked from the off and at xmas I bought a new boyo tl550 and swapped the live stock and rock over from my microhabitat.then about 8 weeks a go I made the choice to sell my tropheus tank and upgrade the boyu for something else.we were waiting for a new carpet to be delivered and fitted so it gave me time to read up and ask for advice,i bought the tmc sig 900 with a white cabinet then started getting all the other stuff I wanted .I think im just about there now and will be swapping over from the boyu at the weekend.i also bought a ro unit as I was just buying my ro water upto now.heres a few pics going from the microhabitat through to where im at now.the one thing I changed on the sig is the pipe work,i went for a xaqua to replace the standard plumbing that comes with it.ive got all ehiem pumps as I find them quiet.if anyone wants to make comment or give me advice that would be more than welcome
