2dogs · Nov 24, 2021

Hi everyone ,
I‘m a new member from the United Kingdom to the salt water hobby but have kept freshwater fish For 10 years
My present tank is 5years old 96in.L X 36in.W X 30in.H with Malawi Cichlids.
I have a custom build on site marine tank and cabinet with sump on order 72in.L x 30in.W x 33in.H
I shall be looking for lots of help and advice from all you experienced salties to get me off to a good start when my new tank arrives.
So a big thank you in advance for all the help that I receive.
