Aargh! All these cool tanks are making me twitch! I do not need another expensive hobby! Always wanted to try it wit marine set-up steve hope you'll keep us updated. Will do mate. a few details cost of salt water £100 give or take live rock 13.99 per kilo fish range from £20-120+ filter is the size of a dustbin the tank base is solid canadian oak and was exported over here when previous owner emmigrated from canada to uk he moved house again recently and couldnt take It with him. It cost a fortune brand new, me and my mum picked it up from a local petshop for £800. Its a beautifully made piece of furniture the picture doesnt do It justice. at the moment there are just 2 fish and 3 pieces of live rock in there aswell as a crab that stowed away in the rock lol. the corals and sponges are already developing, the plan is to get a kilo or so of rock every week and build it up into a reef in the middle of the tank.

Fish ... Argh !!! ... If you think vaping can be a bit compulsive OMG !!....
I had a big marine setup for 3-4 years ... Corals, anemones, etc etc ... Just keeping the skimmer and lighting running every day probably cost more than I spend on vaping shiney stuff ... That's without the cost of the corals and fish and food and your own water purification system etc etc .... It all went in the last divorce ... And in hindsight I'm bloody glad it did ...
