Hi! Here's a Little brief background on my journey so far in the hobby, I've kept all different kinds of freshwater tanks for a few years and had always been interested in marine but finally took the plunge January last year!

Ive had 2 tanks since then and had a brief break due to moving house and other reasons and have now bought my 3rd tank a 6ft shallow tank.

My first tank was a tmc rimless tank about 180 litres. I had that set up for a few months and realised I wanted an upgrade so I picked up a bargain full set up from Facebook market place, it was 350 litre display and I used the best bits from both tanks. I'm going into this new tank feeling fairly confident. Ive had dinos and a velvet wipeout already in my first year so it disheartened me abit but I'm looking forward to starting a fresh and learning from my mistakes, Here's a few pictures from both tanks and a couple of my new one I'm yet to pick up!
