A Brit's Glass Box

Yeah, I've got a sheet of flexi plastic stuff to put against the sump to try and stop spray. I've also got a humidity sensor wired up to a shower fan which sits up by the display tank, and 4 pc fans to help draw moisture out of the cabinet.... I would prefer a proper cover though....

Still a couple of pieces of equipment to buy. The list so far:

Eheim 1260 return pump
Vertex omega 150 skimmer
36" Tek 5, 6 tube T5 light unit

250w heater
Coralife calcium reactor 250
Milwaukee ph control/monitor
Milwaukee CO2 regulator/solenoid
Pair of 6" Honeywell fans for circulation while lights are on

Still to get:
Tunze osmolator
Top up tank
Power heads
RO unit/storage container
Co2 canister
Salt
Rock
Sand

I've also got a fish wish list. I've had big fish in the past, so this time I'm going to try and keep things small as I want to try and focus on sps this time.

6 line wrasse
Scooter
Mandarin (maybe a pair)
Clown goby
Neon goby
Royal gramma
Red spot blennie
Blood shrimp
Sexy shrimp (4 or 5)
Blue tuxedo urchin

I'd also like a group of schooling fish. All I can really find that will stay small are thread fun cardinal, so maybe 5 or 6 of these aswell.

Just got to tidy up the sump a bit, re-route some wires, and get a top off tank made up

This arrived today:





7 stage with spare filters..... Just need to put it all together, and plumb it up!

6line wrasses are sometimes nasty and if you dont like him its near impossible to get him out of a reef. a yellow coris wrasse eats lot of
pesty things and leaves corals alone, way nicer fish

Sump space tidied up a little bit:



Just need CO2 and osmolator to add. Also going to modify the end pipes to 1" flex. This will give me a bit more room around the skimmer.
Also found a 15 litre recycling tub. Perfect fit, just need to water test that.
