Looking good, How long has it been running now?

My only comment is that in your pics the tank looks quite dark. Are you using the standard Jewel lighting?

If so my suggestion would be to mount a T5 tube in the back... Another option would be a 24" Luminaire light. This clamps onto the top of the tank.

Thanks!

The tank has been running for about 3 months now i think Im planning to add another fish (or maybe a shrimp and gobie pair) next week, then some more corals, then some lobsters/shrimp and starfish after that and i think it'll be done!

I am using T5 lighting I assume you mean in the fish pics it looks dark, Ben? Thats because the fish spend most of their time in the back corner so i had to zoom in a long way and my camera has a terrible flash so it always comes out dark It is actually quite bright and colourful 'in person'

ah yes i used to get the same effect with my old digi cam. Was quite annoying!

Anyway looking great can't wait to see it when its done!

Dont suppose Aquatic Habitat sell Starfish do they Ben? I got my clowns from Real Reefs in Bishops Cleeve but i cant remember if he does them.. Will have to check, but if not i'll have to get them from you! Oooh, and i'f you knew how much they were that'd be great...

Oh, and my camera has died so no more pics for a couple of weeks
