Made up a bit of a time line of the tank after the original crash to compare the tanks evolution over the last couple of years

Was really happy with the way the top down time line came out so decided to go through some more pics and do a front on version.
I think the front view gives a more dramatic picture of the tanks ups and downs and is also right from day one as I didn't get any top down shots when i was running t5s

Its that time of the year. "spring clean time" :devil:
Spent the last 2 hours scraping and scrubbing every nick and cranny removed a Chinese takeaway container full of sponges and tube worms from the over flow. There is actually room for water in there now :clap: :konk: :clownfish:

Nice Craig.

Must be that time of year, I've removed over three boxes of trimmed corals in the last couple of months.

Fish can swim again!

Rod. :thumbsup:

On a sad note We lost booth our Bangai within a couple of weeks of each other :( First one just went MIA and the second one seemed to develop a swimming disorder , Maybe swim bladder and succumbed after a couple of days

Thanks Dan :thumbsup:

Last weekend picked up a couple of piccaso clownfish as they were a good price and have been thinking about it for a while. Only problem now is what to do with them :wall:
At this stage we will set up our nano and let them grow out for a while before we introduce them to the tank.
Got them a BTA and within 2 hours they found their new home
