Another Tank From Sunny South Africa

[Kanga]

Hi Guys and Gals

I found a mate of mine ol' Tom100's tank on here so I thought why not, a bit of new opinions would be good.

Mods I hope I am posting in the right forum, if not please move the thread to where it belongs.

I have a 1.4metere 700 Litre System (sorry but we have advanced to metric in SA)

Here is the Tank in my lounge when it was first built

My little colt coral

Acro

Mille

Cleaner shrimp

Pincushion and cleaner

Elegance

Thanks for sharing pics of your setup!! Looks like you folks in S.A. are obsessed with reefs just as we are here in the U.S. Those clownfish pics are unreal!!


When you go to the local pub, do you order by the pint??


How did you folks from S.A. find RAG?

Saw Toms tank on here and figured its worthwhile having a holidayhome forum, you guys seem like a very decent bunch (sadly a rare thing in forums)

We look around and tell each other as we go, nice to see different opinions in different countries, different methods, ideas. also you guys have some equipment that only gets to us later etc etc

Lighting is all T5's x 8

What would a thread be without some skimmate

Or a sump pic

Why not invite them here and let them show us?

The U.S. had a microbrew revolution a few years ago and you can once again obtain good American beer without having to choke down the mass produced stuff.

We are a small group of people; this is because those who wish to argue about skimmers and call people names are quickly dealt with. The moderators really do a good job to keep the forum above the third grade level.

I don't know about S.A., but with the U.S. dollar plummeting in value, the nice equipment from Europe is becoming more and more expensive. It's almost to the point where it is out of reach of the average hobbyist. This makes the Chinese made products seem like a good choice for the newcomers. We try to steer them away from the really bad products.

Anyhow, welcome to RAG and feel free to get involved.

Nice pics Kanga.
We are both from Port Elizabeth. Not much in the line of corals for us to collect here. The water is too cold. So we have to purchase or frag.
