Thank you. Ive added a few coral from my tank and a small damsel to start and they look really good so i think its come together really nice. Ill start adding fish and coral slowly. Im still not completely happy with the hole aquascape but i think the bulk of it is ok..
I like what I see so far!!, lets see some skimmers @ work

I had a 150g aquarium at 18 and I thought that was enormous.

What's your dimensions on that 400? I'm about to inherit a 400 gallon acrylic, 78" x 36" X 36" this will be my first large system and may take me a year to get everything together. Looking at FOWLR at first. Any words of wisdom to help me along? By the way, Great looking tank elias123!

If you want to keep some real nice pieces of coral get yourself a good tesf kit for phosphates , i got a hanna metre, its going pretty good, and also try different products and methids out there but dont make changes in any extreme way just go slow. Distinguish what you want to achieve out of the tank first, its location in the house, plumbing, sump/no sump, lighting all that kind of stuff, qnd make a wish list of everything you want to buy:beer:
Even though my fish list was a little different to what i have now im still extremely happy with my fish now : )

i took a few photos with this new under water camera i got but they wont upload! i think it might be because the file is too big? maybe? im spewin coz i was muckin around with it for ages. Can someone please tell me how to take photos because they are all turnng out really bad (flash, surrounding lights etc etc) Im trying LED lights out now so as soon as i hang them up ill see how they go, if i likr them ill get rid of my halides because they chew up the power and create so much heat!
