New tank has been set up

The RSM has been broken down. It has been a really good tank and I got excellent results from the tank over th elast 20 months or so. The parameters were spot on. I have now set up a new tank which is larger and has a sump.

Basically it is a miracle mud filtered tank with live rock and is lit with Aqua ray LED's

More information to be posted soon

Duncan frag arrived 03/07/07

Heading for 7 months next week

Sorry I havent been updating the blog on my aquarium.....I have been busy with the tank replacing the filter media with live rubble and placing a new filter media above that (piccies to follow soon).

I have recently purchased a Duncan 'whisker' coral frag which has been in the tank for 3 days now and is doing really well

I am planning on adding a fourth fish this weekend which will be a peacock or splendid leopard wrasse eventually a mate will be introduced for my Bangai female

Photos and other updates to come soon
