added 2 more peices of live rock today 17th april
I Think they may be enough now as i bought some lovely fancy marine white coral
and this has to go in yet.
but moving tank to the side of Elvis this weekend so will put that in then.
I am going to make the rock pile to the right of the tank
leaving the left side empty for swimming area.
heres some pic's with the 2 peices of new live rock..
for some reason the tank only looks like the rock is at the bottom,
but the display is half way up the tank.?
anyway will try and get better pic's when the tank is in place.

Looking at it now chez, it looks quite a tall tank - I hadnt realised that before. Looking good though, and still plenty of room for the fish to swim

i agree chez tanks looking very nice

its 20inch wide and 24 inch high and 15 inch deep>front to back..
so its as tall as Elvis's 24 tall......

its looking good chez.

I collect the tank tomorrow, so hopefully all will go well and i have someone willing to look after the inhabitants until my tank is up n running yay!

Looking fab!

hey chez. Im currently on cleaning my 550.

When you got your 450, how did you thoroughly clean the sump/filter section?

Im having a right chew on getting the last bit of water out. I cant lift it myself to tip out so ill have to think of another idea

I got a jug with clean water and kept running it round the glass
then mop it up with a clean cloth till it was all gone
I had a little bowl as well to squeeze the water in,
the last bits I got out with kitchen towel

it was left in the kitchen for a week so it dried out ok.
then i just got a clean cloth and wiped all the glass out side then in.
it didnt have filter inside, it came with external, but malc broke the plunger
so I bought a new one,
But before he broke it he jet washed it..
