Cheers gi's
Still trying to fine tune this bloody thing ha haa I work 150 kms away from home and saposed to stay there as I'm on nights but I can't help bolting home to fiddle diddle with it ;) I disconnected the tunze 7096 coz I haven't had enough time to fine tune it and just cranked up my 6105's boy do they move sum water when there crankin!! Lost the end of one of my flow directors down the back of the rock scape so that can stay there till Thursday when I get more rock!!! Had to botch up sum pipe to get flow threw the back of the scape. Got sum good flow goin on now!! All the live stuffs coming out off the rock couple a lil crabs few lil snails and a stripy lil star fish and sum mussel x clam things opened up.don't no what will live but what's everyone's thoughts on the cycle i might have?will it turn into pea soup or will it barley show anything with the amount of flow I have and what will happen when I slow things down in the future to accommodate every thing?

Looks awesome man, i like the front two angled pieces of glass. Your rock structure looks like something straight out of the ocean.

Where's west oz located at if you don't mind me asking?
