So after a lot of thinking I am about to get back into this hobby after about a 7 or 8 years break. I used to have a 210 TruVu with the AquaSpace Light (3x 250w DE MH + 4 actinic PC's), Euro Reef Skimmer and a fairly simple sump.
This time I am going with a little smaller 120g glass. I have my task/cabinet being delivered on Friday, picked up my Kessil AP 700 last night and was slowly going to plan this out until .... boom, a friend lets me know they are selling up a whole system. So I am diving in with their whole love stock and some other goodies from their system.
Here is what I got from them:
Now, here is the tank / cabinet I just bought:
Now I have the fun challenge of moving both setting up my tank AND moving my friends system practically at the same time . Luckily it's only moving from San Ramon to my place in Dublin.
Now .... back to the Internet to order some more goodies
