yeah sorry about that i was in a bit of a hurry when i tiped that
i have also found another hitch hicker it looks like a worm but has black and white stripes o and i found 2 starfish on my live rock so i am very happy with it

These ppics were taken on my mobile so im not sure how they will turn out

sorry about the pictures being on their side i will take some better one tonight

have just added a bigger filter and a background so will post pictures sson

well on saturday i added about another 15 kg of live rock it came with an anonome(lucky me) i made sure it was one
1 starfish 1sea urchin lots of hermits and snails i scored pretty good their
I will add more pictures later

Will be buying my light this weekend i have also found some more feather dusters on my rocks and i have found a couple of small sponges.

the light that i am buying this weekend is a high output t5 system it has four bulbs i think the wattage = 83 watts
What sort of corals could i keep under it as i would really like to keep
- bubble corals
- sponges
Thats all i have for now. What other sort of corals do you guys reckon i should get.
Im also buying a heater this weekend what wattage should i go for and what brand i was thinking aqua one as it is a good brand in australia.

Also i hae just found what looks like some sort of algea it is like heaps if white dots on the filter nad on the back wall the size of pin heads?

when my cycle is done I'm thinking of adding 2 yellow tail damsals and 1 clown would I be able to add any more fish or would i be fully stocked?

You could have most corals with that much light.

Sponges would work, just make sure you understand their own specific requirements (no exposure to air etc)
Bubble corals would also work, just remember they are extremely aggressive and have 6 inch sweeper tentacles.

Yellow tail damsels are quite aggressive, and you may ahve problems having two of those and a clown. if it was me I'd get a blue/green chromis and a pair of clowns.

50 to 100w would be best for a heater.

The white dots are probably hydroids, don't worry there not a problem.

awsome thank you im finally not talking to myself
