hebby Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Really admire your passion and devotion, must have learned a lot since starting it. I can picture sitting comfy, just watching the tank, chilled music in the background....nice. Yeah mate defo learned loads since getting into it Water chemistry, coral growth, how some corals use light for food and some don't ( photosynthetic ) it really is a learning curve and makes you appreciate the animals and coral Very nice tank, even better real life:) Thanks Jony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animal47 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 A mate of mine also has a nice marine set up that has cost him a fortune and takes up loads of his time. I remember going round to see it a while ago and couldn't work out why it looked so deserted for having had so much money spent, he laughed and told me to watch whilst he added some food, all of a sudden all of these weird looking creatures started to appear from every nook and cranny.Sent from my HTC One max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangarilla Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Now that, must have taken some time to get to that stage Hebby. Beautiful, do you find yourself just staring at it for ages, i find them strangely hypnotic, never up to this standard though. mine was a bowl with a fish from the fair called george Any no silly tobacco references please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Yeah has taken about a year to get to this and loads of frustrating moments when something goes wrong or equipment fails And I do mate I switch off the lights in hallway drag the foot stool in from front room and sit there just watching everything do its thing sometime when I can't sleep I will go downstairs and just sit for a while watching the nightlife in the tank as sometimes it can be more entertaining than when the day lights are on Edited August 11, 2014 by hebby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Got to admit when I was last round at Pauls I stared at his marine tank for quite some time... Can be rather amazing, especially if you don't know what's in there, you look back at a certain object about 20 times and eventually it moves lol.

Depends what your looking for Colour? Movement? Growth rate? Get some Zoas and a torch coral or a hammer head For colour try looking at some Scollies or acans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmart Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Like that Hebby! Marine set-ups always look so bloody clean as the lighting sets them off as does the necessity for perfect water quality.. Are you going to be playing with your RC's again now spring is approaching then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
