Every thing is going well!!

It's been a while since my last post.

Since the last post I've done many water changes I've purchased some more coral and a new fish :D

I now have a new royal gramma called doty as well as a giant orange frilly sponge and a algae plant called posidons shaveing brush, still trying to find the Latin name for it

all of the levels are doing great fortunatly :)

I have learned however that any thing that is a filter feeder requires me to put something in the water for them too filter Duhhhh! So now I have an orange liquid food to squeeze in every morning.

I've been having to separate the crabs from the tank when I'm feeding Barry the anamene as a result I've begruging decided to swap them with the fish shop near asda for smaller crabs when I come down next Tuesday when my order arrives...

What is my order you ask? I've ordered another black and White saddle back clownfish :D

my plan is to get 2 more clowns lots more coral and a nudibranch then the tank will be full

First coral!!!

I have had on order some coral for a while now and on tuesday it finally arrived WOOO.

I have a pulsing Xenia, on it came a free tiny feather star (starfish) i have decided to call him Tony hehe. So far he hasnt moved but if i does i dont think ill ever be able to find him again lol.
