Flame-Tail's New 3 Ft Setup

[Flame-Tail]

My Old 2 Ft Setup

Dear all.

Have been asked to start a New Thread for my new 3 footer so here it is. I have left a link to show what I started with over 3 years ago. I'd also like to express thanks to all those who have helped me in terms of information sharing, knowledge etc... since I started this hobby. Pics will be uploaded soon and please feel free to leave any comments.

Happy Reefing!!!

First post . This is cleaning of the tank by a good buddy of mine. My G/F also helped out with the transportation and cleaning. Really appreciate all their effort as it was a couple hours of hard work. This was done abt 2 mths ago if I remember correctly.

All my stock was stored in this Blue Fibreglass 4ft Tub loaned to me while I decommissioned my 2 footer and set up the new tank. I hooked up a skimmer, wave maker and my chiller to the Tub so the L/S would not get a shock. Only 1 casualty which was my 4 head Torch

Filling of NSW . The glass on the base of the tank is to prevent it from stirring up. A method I learned a long time back when setting up tanks for friends.
