Thought i would share my tank with you guys, i love forums and how active they are. so gonna show my progression over the last 6 months and a few build pics
So i went with the Aquapod 24 for my tank, with the 150w sunpod top, threw out the old pump and sponges and bioballs, i started with all dry rock with a few seed rocks
so heres a pic of it empty with my scaping ideas

took me about 2 months to get to this point, from ordering the aquarium
 
Ok, next i let the tank cycle for a month with some seeded live rock, and water from an established tank, and after xmas i added a few esentials
