Thanks bre,

I am in no rush, i still have to decide what other equipment,sand/gravel, rocks etc im going to buy.

What size tank did you get?
I decided on a 48x18x24 tank with a 34x12x18 sump.

Ive been reading the tank build threads on ultimatereef.net and some of those guys are seriously nuts ( in a good way ), the tanks and the lengths that some have gone to are out of this world.:drool: There are pictures where the guy has to get into his tank as its easier to clean it that way!!!

Thanks Jerry, when i bought my 6ft it was on the condition that i dispanded the one in the study and didnt buy another one.

Ahem, i seem to have acquired a river reef 98 in my bedroom with some Zebs in and the above tank that is going to go in the kitchen.

I used to have a marine tank before i got well into plecs and lately have been having the irresistable urge to try again.

So if the marine doesnt work out- ive got a tank for more plecs!

STOP that as well !!!.
I have just conditioned my brain to stop wanting to buy another plec to put in the tanks I have now and I just had to have a sort out.lol

When I did marine tank I loved looking at the small critters that come out the live rock with my magnifying glass also loved the industrious fish like gobys and blennys.
You will :lol: I brought a banded shark egg thinking it would hatch (about 3to4 inches long),WRONG,more like 8to9 inches and they said feed it with lance fish on a stick,I did this and the thing smashed it against everything in the tank my soft corals took a pounding.LOL.
Took it back to the shop(lesson learnt )
Marin tanks are good fun to do.

Good luck with your project. :thumbup:

Congrats on the new tank! My wife cringes everytime I go on to TaoBao (chinese ebay). Luckily(?) she likes Herps so we always have use for a new tank. :)
