As you can see, most of the stock was added since the upgrade.

We're still working on it... theres some bits still a work in progress... we want to redo the rockscape in the middle from where we removed the leather a few months back.

 

We want to loose the frag rack at the back, find homes for the frags....

 

We want to set up a proper frag tank and QT setup for new coral.

 

Theres loads we want to do its just time and money! We are just broke Students!

Incredible growth in only a year. You must have dropped a lot on coral last year because some of those just destroyed my life they're so amazing.

 

Edit: seeing my signature makes me realize i havnt updated in a year :0 better get on that mines a lot different now too

So far it seems to be working nicely
