I saw the tank in a local petshop and fell in love with it. It is 2,7m long
600cm high and 600cm high. It is build into a oak cabinet realy awesome.

I had some mixed mesages from the supplyers here in south africa , regarding the sand or crussed corral. Thanks for setting me right.

My first problem is getting the tank in my bedroom (will Have to remove a window LOL )

so my planning is as follows (i did do a couple of days recearch here )
I am sure it is not enough But you have to start some were.

Start with a good sand bedding 2 to 3 inches
Add a big buccet of salt , not sure yet how first the water and then the salt in the tank or mix it in a new bucet heating the water and test with a hydrometer.

I want to build up slowlly to a reef tank

1 x proteen skimmer 2 x pumps for current 1 x sump filter 1 x heater

and a couple of pounds of live rock as mush as i can afford for now
That first has to be curred (not quite sure how that works yet exactly)
The supplyers here in south africa have the live rock set up in salt tanks with lights and all that. So could one just use that or does it still have to be curred

5 x t5 lights for now

once got it all set up water inthe tank ( RO UNIT water)

lett it stand with all the equipment running exept proteen skimmer.

pop in 1 x molly (Fresh water)

6 week later 1 X memo
and hoppfully every ting will be well
