Ok people. New to the forum but thought I would share my in wall tank. This is my first marine set up so still learning. Thanks to Robert at aquaristic Beaconsfield for all the advice and service so far. So this is my set up so far. Only got all the tanks delivered yesterday. Starphire glass looks amazing!!

Finally got water put in on the weekend.. everything is working sweet. 2 days later and it's looking crystal clear. Will be conducting tests every 2 days untill the weekend. As I transfered my live rock out of cycled smaller tank. Should be ready for some live stock by the weekend. Pretty happy with the aquascaping... took me 3 attempts to get it decent. Still setting up my psi reef ro system into a 70l ro top up tank. Will post more pics shortly.

Quick update..
Got my reef ro unit from psi filters. Excellent product and easy to install... once I mounted and set that up it was time to set up the Tunze osmolator. So far so good. Works like a dream. Also added first of the live stock with various snails, starfish and a pair of clowns fish.

Looks great! I'm not sure I'd ever do an in-wall style tank like that because cleaning the sides seems like it would be really annoying.
