amazing pics and corals!
Latest additions look down-right SEXY!
JK you've inspired me to re-do my 130D
Thanks for sharing your goodies with us
Thanks All
That's awesome Al, was gutted for you when yours went down. I look forward to seeing the rebirth. Much of mine was inspired by you so I join outed to repay the inspiration.
Always a pleasure to share. I'll have more pics coming soon when they stop sulking. Unfortunately there were some casualties amongst my imports. My stratospheres, ardinums, black elephants and rasta are all dead. The Rastas I have more of but I'm gutted about the 3p stratospheres
that's a lot of $$$ down the pan! The water was all below 14 degrees when they arrived so I'm lucky to have salvaged any. This is why they are still sulking a week later. I'm hopeful that others will recover eventually.Forgot to mention, I have recently turned my sump into a giant frag rack! I didn't like the rack in my display plus it wasn't big enough to house my zoa obsession. I have a piece of egg crate cut to fill the whole surface area which sit about 6 inches below the surface. My cheato it's below. I upgraded my sump light to a maxispect razor nano and the rack is already full. It's a perfect environment for Zoas as I can slow the flow and dim the lights when I've been fragging or introduce new ones.
My tank is now pretty full, I recently made the sump my frag tank. That is now full too! I planned on starting a new frag tank in my shed later this year. Turns out I cant wait that long which is what has brought me here.
This is my Garden when I bought the house a few years back.
This is after a bit of work and my daughters arrival. I pimped the wendy house
I had to walk across sodden grass every time I wanted to reach the shed so I laid out some new slabs
Dug up tons of soil, laid a bed of sand and then set to work shaping the edges with and angle grinder. I tell you though, I was expecting the angle grinder to be much easier than it was, the thing weighed a ton!
A few buckets of cement and sweat later and here we are. new shed built! Seems easy to type but doing it all myself nearly killed me.
I ran electric out to the shed and put in a fuse box. I have now hung my 4ft ATI and my new 4ft tank should be here next week
Seems a little odd having a frag tank 3 times bigger thank my main display but that will have to be another project........
I also have phyto, Rotifer and Copepod cultures to keep my pair of Mandarins and corals happy. Couldn't get a pic without my mug shot
In other news my Wife will be giving birth any day now but that mean I'll be off work and may be able to buy a few minutes to help get me up and running, maybe divorced too!
To be continued.........

Mate, congratulations to the new build and the soon new arrival (not necessary in that order...lol).
I saw the pictures of your backyard and it soooo looks like where I used to live in Beds, in Leighton Buzzard. Where are you based, the houses looks so much the same as our estate in LB?
