Introduction:
So after a two year break from having a full sized tank I thought it was about time to get a full sized system up and goings again. As most of those who know me, know I crap on about Elos constantly. So I thought its about time I took the plunge here as well.
The System is on order due to be delivered around April and there is still quiet a few question marks which I would love everyones input on.
System Objectives:
Ive gone through a few stages in reefing over the last 5 years. After a hard core SPS binge I have come back to liking movement, brightly coloured, contrasting textures and open space.​
So I am thinking this will be a fairly minimalistic Softies and Large Polyp Stonies, which in recent times ive steered away from because they wernt really a challenge but I think ive come away from that stage and just want to go with what I enjoy looking at and keep the cube for challenges.​
