Introduction:
This tank came about after a little disaster with my dream tank. This will be a dedicated SPS tank due to the Angel I currently have eating all the other types of corals.
I currently have more rock than I planned but am happy with the Aquascape so it is staying. I am also attempting to automate as much as possible to give the tank stability as well as chosing low wattage equipment where possible.
