the only UV lamps i've seen are ones that you run the water through to sterilise it - i wouldn't have thought you could have one as a hood light?

So are freshwater, if you do them right

Can't match the colours though to be honest

Yeh that is true although you can get quite close. The main problem I am having with my tropical setup is getting the plants to survive. You really need to invest a lot of money and time.

Im finding this with marine too, for a bigger tank the cost per month/general upkeep is insane, let alone the one off cost of everything.
lucky im only in a nano
Not at all!
All you need is...
Lots of light
CO2 injection
Plant Additive

A Malawi tank is pretty darn colourful.

But corals are pretty! 
little pic of my newest toadstool
It'll grow bigger than my tank, but if I keep fragging it it'll make me some money.
(i got it free, but the guy who gave it to me has made 200quid since january from the mother colony.)

You're right corals look amazing, but for some reason you can't seem to aquascape Marine tanks with such differnt variety as Freshwater.
I'm just as fond of marine as freshwater planted, Im saving up to set up a seahorse tank after I've bought my new PC.

Aye I know what you mean, scaping marine is so hard. Throw a pile of rocks in and it never looks good
However some people just "get it" right.

That tank is amazing. I love tanks that have lots of little bits. not just the shape but the set up inside. Sometimes looking for fish and getting a surprise at what you find is half the fun

I thought those Puffer fish were brackish not freshwater fish correct mem if i'm wrong.
There are a lot of different species of puffer

Just given mine a fresh bit of decoration. Need more blue gravel though.
Its a 3ft tank and in it I have...
2 Plec (Had these for about 3 years)
1 Golden Gourami
1 Tinfoil Barb
2 Blood Parrot Cichlids (had these for over 4 years now, awesome things)
1 seriously cool Figure 8 Puffer!
Wasn't sure how the puffer would get on with the other fish but I think with it being by far the smallest it is behaving itself rather well
Heres my tank anyway, really would like to upgrade but going to wait till I've got my own place for that.
Blood Parrots
Here are an older pic of my Blood Parrots too
Tinfoil Barb
Figure 8 Puffer - really shy at the moment but got my girlfriends tank to put it in if it starts becomeing aggresive.
Really got into them again recently.
I thought the puffer fish was a brackish water fish not fresh water.
Double post, and WHY do you have to quote the whole post in the second one??
It has probably already started multiplying.
Get rid if you want to slow down the process
