My set up thus far:
Being new to the marine aquarium thing I thought I would do a step by step of how my tank is going and doing it on a budget.
First was to find a new tank. Found this Juwel with stand for £60
Then I popped along to my LFS for a bit of advice and bought some "live" sand
Scoured ebay for this little bargain at £60 and local to pick it up an AquaOne MariSys 240
Set it up and did a "wet" test to make sure the filter system was ready to go when it needed to be without having to faf about and to check to leaks
New Juwel background turned up from ebay £6.00 inc P&P got this fitted and tank back in place for last time. Had to make a cut out of the Hood to make room for the filter. (good job im dab handed with a dremmel eh lol)
Went back to the LFS and bought 100l of RO SaltWater added 50l and added the "live" sand
Added a further 40l and left the system to cycle to remove the clouding
What do you guys think so far then??
