After much research and viewing I decided to take the plunge and purchase the above tank.
It was between the Fluval and RSM C130 and I chose the Fluvel for it's better length dimension as opposed to the cube looking RSM (personal preference as I know RSM has a big following). The lighting via LED (as standard) was much better than the T5's hence my choice and seeing both together in LFS sold it to me!!
I also wanted to buy an entry level tank that I will not need to upgrade parts and spec, if I luv this hobby then I will upgrade to a 250 litre tank in a year or so.
Day 1
First pictures
Still in very early stages and using a 50g RO machine to mix my own saltwater, must admit taking longer than I thought but as I have read patience is key and also very hard to follow.
Just put Live rock in overnight to stop drying out and will landscape once tank is filled.
Will post more photos over forthcoming days
