So as I’m a keen ‘marine aquarist’ purely for research purposes I thought this location was perfect for me to ‘study’ marine biology in its natural habitat!! Lol

A Marine Aquarist, should collect few specimens from everywhere he goes, for research purposes !

I think I might struggle at the customs desk

Now sir, what do you have in those bags of water? Lol

I tell them it is decorations for my fish tank, and I always keep some photos of the tank ready on my phone to show it to the officer, eventually they will let me go.
Some of the question that they frequently ask , "are you crazy? is this thing alive ? I heard that fish from this area is Tasty"
;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

Have you not been through UK customs, they don’t laugh or smile!

[NY_Caveman]

Yes all good thankfully!

How to you guys keep the glass clean in your sumps or do you?

Mine is covered in water marks

And the brown sand is residue from the Brightwell NO3 bricks!

 

[Craigb350]

I just tend to use the mag scraper cleaner for the inside, then I have some glass cleaner that a carefully use for the outside

 

[fabutahoun]

I use vinegar for cleaning the glass, also there is no problem if few drops went inside the tank.

 

[Fudsey]

I don't

 

[Dodgersallday]

Great Progression shoots, The Tank looks really nice.

Love the Regal Angel

I’m not sure if you’ve seen this close up of him, but it shows how he looks and is worth posting again

Hi Guys

I've just started my new build thread on here and my tank has reached 1 year old this month.

This is pretty much my first tank of any kind, other than a Max E260 which I had for a few months before getting hooked on the hobby.

I've learned quickly as much as I can. Anyway, I know everyone likes pictures so here are a few and also a video link if it's works!

wow, beautiful ! and the videos great !!
