First post here -

I have been keeping both freshwater and marine inverts/fish for a number of years now, but the animals that have intrigued and captivated me the most are undoubtedly the ones that inhabit the deep sea.

I started planning for such a tank about a year ago and this is where I'm at currently after getting the tank built/set up and sourcing for livestock. (Both buying and collecting)

Tank : 3 X 1.5 X 1.5 Dual pane glass & 32" sump with Central overflow ( 14°C)
Pump : Jebao 9000
Chiller : Hailea HS-66A 1/4 HP
Skimmer : Bubble Magus C3.5
Lights : Current USA LED+
