Hey guys

My names carl and well what a great forum we have got here. Ive never tried to do a Marine Aquarium before but just purchased my own house so though what the hell

Am about a week away from having a 570 litre (1200x500x900) Custom made aquarium delivered to my house.
Its going to be set between my dining room and my kitchen.

Il chuck some photos up now next week when (Hopefully) the aquarium and all the kit will be here.

Looks like a really good community here and and hoping that you guys will be able to help me out when i hit a problem (which im guessing i will)
Anyway Guna go keep reading now.

Catch you all later

Carl!

Sounds exciting. Definitely not starting with your average biocube :) Is this going to be a FO system?

Yer definetly jumping straight in the deep end with this. Been on here researching and reading like mad the last few weeks to get my general knowledge up. I decided on doing a bigger tank first but do plan on doing a nano tank just its alot more fragile system etc so i want to get the hang of a bigger one with slightly more play first.

Umm yes its going to be a FO System.

TBH im not thinking of putting loads of fish in... Few Clowns, Blue Tanks, DEFINETLY a emperor Anglefish < Absoloutly Beautifull... Advise on any more nice fish ?

IMO no FO tank is complete without a Yellow Tang. :D

Great space and good location!

I would make sure you plan for access above to clean (especially with a tank that TALL, you are going to be using a long handle scraper a lot).

You might want to start thinking about a QT (20g is good), and where you could put it.

Also dont know what your plans are for waterchanges but making those as easy as possible is one of the best things you can do. easy waterchange = more likely to be done

Keep us posted on the build, there are a LOT of knowledgeable people on this forum so will get good info. :beer:
