I think you can see the little white copepods on the tank glass




something new every day (copepods)

Taking some up to date photos of the tank and down amongst the substrate and along the bottom of the tank - hundreds of copepods and other inverts

photos to follow soon

The outlets which provide a really good flow around the tank


The RSM System 4



The heater compartment where the water comes after moving through the protein skimmer (you can see the bubbles to the right)

The RSM system 3




The top of the protein skimmer (you can see it is working really well)






A clean is needed



The RSM system 2


The fine filter (you can see it needs replacing)


The Red Sea Max System


I thought I should show how the system is faring with the set up and actually how the treatment centre actually works
