The lighting is standard T5s at the moment, but once i decommission my old tank i will move my Aquaray LED lights and controller over. They should give a much nicer spread in the tank, and also should be help any corals when i stock up.
After a couple of days, I went out and bought a few pieces of live rock, I got 2 for the main tank, and several smaller pieces for the sump.
The price of live rock is high, and I will add more over the next couple of weeks, as and when I can afford it! The rock in the tank and sump in these pictures cost me around £100, and i am going to want 3 or 4 times this amount! The rocks in the tank are 2 large, flattish pieces, that will become the base for my aquascape. They have nice coralline algae cover, but I dont think I have gained any hitch hikers!
I have added one power head to the tank to help circulate water through the rock, and will add another one once i finish with my old tank.
You can also see in the picture above that the skimmer is doing its job!
I am hoping to keep fish, invertebrates and soft corals in the tank, and these will have to be added slowly over a period of time once the tank has cycled for a few weeks!
