Cool. Scallop country. You would have access to good, clean water for water changes there then.

G'day all from the bottom of South Australia. I am re-entering the marine world after a 15 year absence. My last effort was on the Sunshine Coast of Qld with a 1,200x 460x460. Just the tank with heaps of live rock and no sump. I have just acquired a 1,200x 800x800 in 11mm glass with a 15mm bottom with a sump, second hand. I will be setting this up as a cold water Southern Ocean tank concentrating on our uniquely diverse seaweeds. I will be asking plenty of advice as I progress with this tank having been out of the system for so long and the advances in technology that have happened in my absence eg; lighting(although I will probably go with T5) water movement and also the sump which I am totally unfamiliar with. Cheers.View attachment 3032579

Welcome! Glad you joined. I love macroalgaes, so your seaweed take should be cool! Looks like you are already starting out with one of those rare fluffy catfish (hugs)

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
