I've been in this forum since the start of this year and has/had learnt a lot from reading the posts here. Thanks for all the ppl who has helped me out and pointing me to the right directions. This is my 1st attempt in keeping marine/reef tank. I had previously kept and bred discus back in my country, almost started a discus tank here.

The tank's dimension is 800 X 350 X 450 (120L). So yea i will still regard this as a nano/small tank. It's running on 1X150W MH with 2X24W PC, Aquamedic Biostar Flotar HOB skimmer with a 2000LPH aquamedic pump (huge ass), HOB filer with surface skimmer attached and running rowaphos in there.

Tank has been set up for 3 months now, diatoms blommed twice and had some cyanos but all has disappeared now. I've just re-aquascaped my tank 2 days ago, so some of the corals look a bit yucky... Anyway enjoy the pics!

damn, i have more pics to load up but why does it automatically resize my pics to 640 x 426 pixels?? the pics look distorted when this happen!

Great shots Speed!

Your tank in person is, like Helifax, also a remarkeable achievement for someone who just started.

Ahhh i think it's just the forum how it automatically resize ur pics to 640 X 426 pixels. It looks better at 800 X 600 res.

Great shots Speed!

Thanks! Except i don't have a sump..

Well when I saw it, you had everything you need, without a sump. That's also what I'm planning on doing next time around.

You've even trained the tang to stand on his head!

How are you hosting the pics? Photobucket?

Yup! i even trained it to jump on the substrates with his head on the ground :roll: yea i use photobucket. I think it's this forum that automatically resize it for you am i wrong?

then resize your images to max 640x480 pixels and jpeg compress the files to below 100k please

is not all that hard to do

resized to 640 width

size reduced from 240k to 48k

speed - I really like this tank. I like the uncluttered clean look, and works well for the size of the tank.

Do you miss not having a sump? I'm weighing up whether or not I go for the sump option on a 75 litre tank?

Beutiful photographs btw. What Camera do you use?

Ah... I've resized these images so they are under 100k. Thanks for the tip! These pics should look better now. For all those who wanna know what camera i used. It's Canon EOS350D with 18-55mm lens. Same as Reef's camera. The camera is new and i only started to play around with it on Monday, it's hard to get a clean sharp photos as i can't increase the shutter speed more than 120 due to the lighting of the tank. Can't afford a macro lens now, well i can but not willing to spend $900+ on one at the moment yet. This tank setup already costed me heaps!

Don't think you need to spend $900 bucks Speed... Your pics are fantastic.

Just a pity you didn't add the names for the ones that don't know what they are.

Breathtaking

Ahh.... another nano tank, great tank and great pictures too!! for a 75L tank i think without a sump is good. Just do more water changes?!? Yea i should have a sump to hide the big pump and the heater and also it surface skims too without needing to purchase a surface skimmer.

Hi Speed, glad to see you finally on the forum! Your tank looks awesome. I thought you stole my Hammer coral when I saw the pic. Looks exactly like mine!!!

You're doing well. Still gotta go to Ben's and grab a frag of Bubble coral. Just don't have time at the mo.

Great camera shots. Good to see more nano tanks appearing. I've swapped to the Aquamedic skimmer and it's doing a really good job.

Are the shrimps behaving? I hear they don't usually get along. Could be wrong.

Totally awesome

What is the white fishy? Is he a billaney?

I thought you stole my Hammer coral when I saw the pic. Looks exactly like mine!

i think it may have come from the same source if i remember correctly. :bounce:

looking good

The white fish looks identical to the Purple firefish goby I had at one time

Someone correct me if I am wrong :bounce: :bounce:

Very, very nice, now i have to get my tank to look that good 8)

Well done great photos:

My first tank had no sump which was O.K. but having a sump has made life a lot easier.

Its lovely to see new tanks to the hobby we will watch your addiction grow
