Great looking tank! Can you give us more info on your setup? It doesnt look like you have an overflow box. Do you run a sump? If so what equipment are you using?

I also noticed your username, does that mean you use tap water? haha

Welcome and thanks for sharing your tank with us. She's a beaut. By the looks of that tank, I'd say there's a thing or two we can learn from you :top:

Btw, just out of curiosity...how did you find our little community here?
Asking because I think it's great that we are getting more and more members from other parts of the world.

Thank you.
You're right I don't have a sump I have external filters, as for the username LOL yes I did used to use tapwater and successfully and that's where the username originally came from for that reason only but for the last two years now have been using RO water, as for what Equipment I use, I will try to do a tank diary soon and give a full breakdown, thanks for taking interest

Thank you very much for your kind words,
As for where did I find this forum I found it by chance on tap talk and I'm glad I did as it comes across as very friendly forum

Welcome aboard! Nice tank by the way. Guessing your tap water was very clean when you use it.
Thank you.
You would of thought so but I had a TDS of 320 and just added a conditioner to the water along with running active carbon and a phos remover Plus carbon source to reduce No3 seem to have worked for me .never had any hair algae or any other problems Believe it or not and simpler to run.

You're south of London if I'm not mistaken. Are there many fish stores in your area that do saltwater??? Anytime I get to travel to new places I like checking out the different fish stores.
