  Hi everyone,
  
  I've been keeping tropical fish for about 10 years in a 1,2 m (240 liter) tank. So I went to the local pet shop on Sunday with my wife to by some food. We always browse through the marine section and admire the various specimens etc. I made the mistake to leave my wife for 2 minutes with the shop owner, while I fetched my wallet in the car. On my return I was congratulated for being the proud owner of a new 1,8L x 0.9H x 0.6W marine tank with 2x sumps on a nice wooden cabinet to hide all the equipment.
  
  I've delayed the delivery of the tank until I can move my tropical tank out of the way. In the mean time I want to learn more about filtration, lighting and all the ins and outs of keeping a reef tank.
  
  I'll post photos once I receive the goods.
  
  Regards
  
  Philip
