I would agree on the Deltec also.....

Hmmm...I would also be tempted to run some form of external filtration untill a larger ammount of live rock is in the tank, as 20kg is not going to provide much surface area for bacteria to colonise on.....

Just my thoughts... :)
the 20kg of live rock is just a starter niko i will be adding more as i go plus i will only have 1 fish too start with.
how much live rock do you think i should have in total and how much base rock.

i will keep the in mind niko as it looks a decent price, i will buy as much locally in the classifieds as i can first and then top up the rest from there.
