Yes, yes, yes, I know you're all on tenderhooks as to the progress of my aquarium. I've had a few up's and down's with it (as you do), but now I'm really happy with it's progress. Here is a small, crap video.

I wondered where all the fish from the aquarium at Bristol zoo, had gone.

Nice nobs ,the live rock looks good should be called suprise rock as it always seems to sprout new stuff. how many times have you removed pulsing xenia and cut iy up with scissors to fill a gap in the tank ,this link made me chuckle ,one of those oh yeah i forgot after you've been chopping coral on the table www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-43666407 |

I don't put any Pulsing Xenia in the tank. I know how invasive it can be. However, in the wild it is a stunning coral.

I've seen colonies in the wild that are probably ten x ten meters, and to see the colony pulsing when it is that large is breathtaking. |

Bought a couple of fantastic fish yesterday. They are Blue Throated Trigger fish, one Male one Female. Their colours are a bit pale in the photos as they are in the process of being moved into the tank, so at this point they are a little stressed. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

I try to be 'green' as much as I can. For example, wherever possible I always try to buy tank-bred fish and not any caught in the wild. The rock was called 'Dry Reef Rock'. It's actually manufactured so it is not real rock that has been removed from the sea. This is a change from the old Real Rock, because as you know with Real Rock you can get some good things grow from it, but also some bad things, so using artificial reef rock let's you set-up from scratch without any nasty surprises. To be honest it doesn't look any different to Real Live Rock. The same with the Corals. All of mine started out as Frags. For those that don't know, most Corals can be what is called 'Fragged', which means you can take a Coral, cut it into smaller pieces (Frags), and then the smaller pieces will grow. It's pretty rare nowadays for Corals to be taken from the sea. |
