After many months of research into this venture, we have decided to finally purchase a marine aquarium- the, rather aesthetically pleasing, Interpet River Reef 94. This decision was helped along by a rather good discount on the tank from 'Complete Aquatics'. We saved £100 on the tank itself making the cost only £160! This is a particuarly good tank as it features a fantastic lighting balast of 2 x T5 Power Compacts and 8 x Moonlight LEDs with balast cooling fans. It also includes a heater, mechanic filter and two return powerheads enclosed convieniently behind a classic blue background. Due to the strict reef requirements and to convert to a saltwater set-up (as the tank has the capacity of fresh and saltwater operation- hence river reef) we decided to upgrade the equipment, based on our research knowledge, adding: V2 120 Nano Protein Skimmer (which fits into one of the rear compartments), a (Fish R Fun) 9W ultra violet steriliser and Hydor Koralia 1 Powerhead. All of this is on order and is expected to be delivered in 2 days!
