Hi Kevin,

thanks! Yes I also think the equipment is not to bad yet. After all this years of saltwater aquarium and many, many things I bought and tried what not was as good as I hoped, now the Technique is for this tiny little tank good enough to keep my values in optimum scope.

Lg, Berny

Thanks for the warm welcome here! I just wanted to start here in this community by introducing my own current tank. It is not my first Tank, my last was little bigger (500 x 100 x 100 cm) but after divorce it is not possible to relocate a fix in a house build in Aquarium.

@yellowtang:

Yes SPS, mussels, sponges are my favorites. The biggest problem here in Europe is, that you don't get specific animals, most dealers have always the same and it is not so often that I come to South East Asia to collect and import my own corals. Additional is the bureaucracy to get CITES and all needed papers a real HORROR.

But I hope to find new friends here and also can give bits of my experience to others who may need it.
