Last couple of weeks I have been working on a locally made T5 unit. It's an old unit but I was very impressed with the quality of the build. I stripped it down and removed paint to bare metal. Then gave it couple coats of white paint.

New light unit fitted.

6 x ATI T5s, will add some led bars later on as I save up. Hoping to get 2 orphek bars for that colour pop.

A picture frame still needs to go over the plugs to cover that.

Great tank, great pics, so beautiful!
(Glad you got the tang!)

Thank you

Always wanted a regal tang, had a rough start with it as it came with velvet. But it's now healthy and happy.

Purple tang is the queen and bully of the tank, keep the others in check.

New fish that I got last night is spending time in observational QT..

Fish will be fed dewormer and frozen foods to help build Up immune system before it goes into the DT.

Love them! by far the craziest fish in my tank. Swims backwards, upside down, always in weird new ways. Love this fish :)

Really is such a beautiful fish, the colours and the character is already showing. I want to get another and try and pair them up.

The idea of the tank is to have mostly nano fish to make it a busy looking reef.

Definitely going to have to follow. Love the hooks for the hangers. Very cool idea. The “copper” pipes look nice too with the open stand.


Thank you, I wanted to try something different and have a very different look and feel for the tank. It also sits in the main dinning area and is the center piece of the house, so I have to make it presentable and neat.
