Country: United Kingdom
Description: Tank is 48" X 32" x 30" and attached to a large sump system which means there is no equipment under the tank (It literally runs silent) The rock structure in the display is made from dry reef bones and DIY foam. The sump holds about 200kg of live rock. Main equipment - 2 X 400w halides, 2 X Vortech flow pumps, AM 5000 Twin skimmer. GHL Profilux controls the system.
