all tanked up

[matt 67]

hi all im from the uk and have been keeping marines for around 5yrs ,ive had 6 tanks in the house and an out building with another eight,
around eighteen months ago i decided that i didnt really need all these and planned my new and only tank...9x3x3 with a remote sump/frag room...the system holds around 1000 uk gallons but is at present being extended to 1600g...
the tank is currently 75% sps 20% lps and a few rouge zoa's,ive got around 100 fish within the tank/system
