Welcome Tommo :D

Good looking setup :thumbup:
Lets see some pics of the display ;)
 
WOW! Nice! Just a quick question Tommo - don't you have problems with the glass over the top of the tank, bursting/cracking, due to the heat generated by those great light units?

Also - what is the brand of your skimmer - apologies if you mentioned it before...

It looks like the brand we get here: ReefOctopus....
 
Thanks everyone :)

I have loads of pics of my tank , before i got rid of 99% of my LPS corals , and decided to get more clams :)

I honestly have no good pics of my display at the moment :( sorry.

To answer a couple of questions , No my glass does not get hot enough to crack :)

And yes it is a Reef Octopus Skimmer :)


Display pics comming soon :)

Cheers
 
Thank you very much , i made the wood bit the found the right lights and leds to match :) , far better than i hood i think , only because it is much easier to work with :)

Cheers Andrew
 
Andrew, may i just ask why you have a glass screen on the top of your tank? are the days of fresh water keeping it there?

To be honest mike you are sort of right , 2 things , 1 of my fish jumped out one night when my wife turned the light on for the kitchen And the other, my wife has the bloody 6 million dollar man hearing , and she hates the noise , thats why they are there !!!

And Mike i know you have seen it , shhhh

ill post some pics soon :)


Monday :) only because i am going away this weekend , due to it being a long weekend :)
 
Jeez Tommo, amazing, and you've been hiding this from us. Really impressive. I can see you love clams. Btw, the Ears next to/amongst the purple ones, is it orange???
