Very modest setup compared to some posted already but I bet we have some of the happiest goldfish around. 4 small-medium sized fish in a 90 litre tank, two stage filtration and with RO water.
OK, so it's the way it should be done, but how many goldfish are put into the kitchen sink whilst the whole tank is scubbed out with bleach once a month?
Anyway - here they are:

have spoke to my cousin today he has fish etc, he reckons that marine arnt as hard to keep as they used to be. said that pets at home do the proper mix for the water etc now, just wanted to through this into the mix of the conversation
Ah, 600l is about 120G or so which should be fine for him then, and he'll certainly enjoy a bigger tank...... How do you rate the LEDs? Have you a PAR meter at all? IF so, have you tested the ratings at depths? Marines - they are not as hard as some people make out, BUT they are not simple by any means. With a few months of research though, I can't see why people can't start it. I'd never kept fish before I started a marine tank, we saw a long horn cowfish and had to have one (Do a google image search, they are funny as hell)...
RO water is needed as noted above. The salt is then mixed in (which is say £55 per 20kg bucket). Weekly/bi-weekly water changes, test the water regularly (Ammonia, Nitrate and Nitrate, and PH, and Specific Gravity), then if you have corals, you'll need to test the DKH (hardness), Calcium and Magnesium too. Oh, and of course Phosphate..... For each coral/fish you need to know you can accomodate it's needs (flow, light, heat, any predators, any fish they won't get along with). Ideally you want to run an auto top-up unit too to keep up with evaporation. It takes a fair bit of research, but it can be worth it......

I found this when i was researching marine aquariums last year, it's the equivalent of my Aston DB9 dream

I think if i had the space for this, i could maybe get over my trepidation about keeping marine's.
Anyway, great story on the construction and cost, something like £8k i seem to remember!
stunning, not being funny but would have expaected that in a much better house, beautifull though, ideal set up, apart from the wood framehttp://www.muzzys-reef.co.uk/tank-setup.htm

another amazing shot, is the pic like that because of the style of the photo from the camera, or does it look like that in the flesh
id imagine they would look just as good. here's a non-studio photo. looks just as stunning to me.
