Hi I'm Pete from Porthcawl, a small coastal town in South Wales, UK. I've kept freshwater fish and aquascape tanks previously and decided to step outside of my comfort zone and build a reef tank. I've watched many videos on YouTube and visited local marine fish retailers and realise I've got a lot to learn. I'm not into rushing things and understand corals are living creatures so want to get as much right first time as I can. I'm starting with a Blue Marine 160 litre tank because all the filters are built in. I'd welcome any advice or views on the Blue Marine aquarium.
