Very nice! How are you going about getting the water? Do you need to filter it at all?

Hello I am looking into natural sea water and getting it delivered I’m in Bedford . I was wondering are you still getting it delivered and do you think it is worth the extra money

Yes still having it delivered , tank is going well and I've had no problems so far . One of the big advantages for me is I work long hours and I struggle to find time so having the water delivered is perfect . I've got good growth in all my corals and all the fish are healthy
