I should have really done a step by step but was just to busy with different things and before i knew it i was filling the tank up with the water. Even now nearly a year on i,m only putting this on now.I had a small 2ft cube tank running for about a year and then decided to get 5ft Clearseal tank.I made the background myself for the tank which i think turned out really well. I was in no hurry so probably took me about a month but could have easily have finished it a lot sooner but as i said getting time and not in a hurry and i think the end result is better than if i had of rushed it together.
I filled the tank up with water around April 2012 and wasn,t till around the end of June that i put the live rock and fish, snails, crabs from my small tank into the big tank, so here,s some pics from startish to about a week ago when the last few pics were taking.
I don't have that much in the tank i am not in a rush want to try get it all right first time so just have a few frags i bought from...
