Just thought i would share with you my other hobby which takes up my time when not gaming or doing family stuff.
The tank is about 350 litres with a sump below the main tank, I have a new bigger tank on order and it will be with me in about 5 weeks(they cannot make it any quicker? )this will be over 600 litres
When i started people said that marine fish are hard to keep......don't listen they are really rewarding and no harder to keep than other fish(although i did lose about £200 of fish in one go ) but beware as they suck all your money out of your wallet, in fact i have just bought some more live rock(@ 10 per kilo) for the new tank and have to travel up to Bolton tomorrow straight after work, any how here are some pics(i am crap with a camera) as i know Doon and Johnnie were curious
Wow Blain that looks amazing, I always had fish tanks when I was younger nothing like that! Used to have guppy's, angel fish, and algae eaters nothing in that league they always died lol.
Always wanted to have a proper setup like that, but I can imagine the looking after the tank cleaning and stuff.
Must have cost a fortune, but worth it really relaxing.
Just shows ya what "hook-a-duck" will get ya these days
I need their names....all of 'em!
Seriously, that's impressive stuff mate. Now I can finally picture 'the tank' and it's not military at all!

Show off
Just shows you my ignorance, I thought it was Disney that came up with the name Nemo
Actually, we have similar interests; I have snails in the garden, had shrimp on the barbie, have a starfish on the wall in the bathroom, like a flutter or two at the Coral betting shop and the crabs....well....best not go there
Let's see pics of the big bad ass tank when it arrives! I can't imagine the size, will you have to wear scuba gear to get in and clean it out!
