Ahhh the time has come my friends, after 2 years of saying Im going to do a marine tank I finally started setting up my first marine tank last weekend, cheers Jules for parting with your nano tank that you very much regret trading to me haha I probably would of still put this off for another 2 years if you didn't have it up for grabs !

Here is my current setup:
Aqua One Nano 40 (40cm cube / 55 litres with built in weir at the back)
Eco Lamp KR Nano LED Lighting
Aqua One Nano Skim 80 Protein Skimmer
Eheim 900lph Return Pump
Aqua One 150w Heater
Aragonite Sand (10kg)
And just got a pouch of carbon, phos-zorb and purigen in the middle section of the weir with a sponge ontop of it all









Just the white LED's here




Blue and white LED's on here





Tank has been running for 7 days now and has already cycled, I bought 3.6kg of very good quality live rock from Ocean Reefs which did the trick. This is my first time playing with a marine tank so Im all ears for any pointers that will help me down the track to avoid rookie mistakes.

I'm not familiar with the names of many corals so wouldn't be able to tell you what I want to stock it with, but the only fish that will be going in the tank is 2 occelaris clownfish, just want to load the live rock with heaps of corals and have a nice looking anemone in there for the clownfish and I'll be happy.

I will update the thread every week or so as I go along adding new bits and piece to the tank, this weekend coming up I will be adding my first coral if water conditions stay up to scratch, can't wait ! Spent about 2 hours staring at live rock when I first got haha

Cheers, Tom

Hey guys has anyone here gotten their car scrapped or know a place where I can get my car scrapped and not get ripped off by punters ? Looking to get it scrapped pretty soon as Im getting a new car today and don't want too many cars at my house as there will be 5 cars here when I get my new one. Some places are jokes one company even offered me $150... Car that I want scrapping is a 1992 Holden Jackaroo everything with the car is alright except the engine and got quoted almost what I paid for the car to get the engine replaced including labour
