tank length is 201cm long 50cm wide and 75cm tall if i remember correctly came with 2x 300w heater (aqua one) and 1x fx5 filter(no media or carbon) came in the wrong colour was slightly damged my wife is very cross with our lfs due to jmany reasons but the colour was ment to be beech it came back a whiteish colour......
but i sorta like it as it's mine.
well the equipment i got is 1xwave maxer control unit 4xwave pump 1xkoralia pump 1x 25kg reef salt 1x v2 600 skimmer 50kg 1mm sand fiji pink replica only used 22kg 30kg 0.1-0.2mm sand white-brown.
just orderd 20kg live rock also baught 30kg of ocean rock.

heres a pic from last night before the alge bloom.
also heres 2 pics of the clowns hosting the alge hair at least it makes them feel safe for 6-7 more months untill i get an new anemone or the super turbo's eat it all wich one is eating now as i type. so it will probably be gone to hardly anything left again... saves me from trimming i guess lol
