just an update. i bought a load more rock so i could build the back of the tank up, the rock i bought has quite a lot of mushrooms and other living things on it which is good. my anemone and one of the goniporas died as expected, but i still have 2 left which are doing really well. i havnt bought any more livestock yet but will soon i wanted to get all of the tank sorted first. heres some pictures.

any comments are welcome, i am still learning

HOwes the sea horse doing? if the flow rate is to high he won't be able to swim. Plus what are you feeding him? Brine shrimp and mysis are good food stuffs but makesure the fish don't get them all first. Also how many time a day are you feeding him. Sea horses have only got intestins and so can't 'hold' food.

Other that that the rock work looks good. Have you thonught about sumping some. It will still work as a filter but be out of the display.

[callum_parsons]

[rhysiboy]

oh dam sorry just read the title of the page so dont bother answering my question

 

[sparklefuzz]

Looking good I'd love to have a seahorse, they're so beautiful.

Ohhh nice looks like uve got plenty scaped rocks to put corals on now! keep it up m8!

 

[kennygater]

the rock i bought has started to grow a few corals now which are looking good. i got some turbo snails to help with the algie and it has, but i have still got a black film on the ground which keeps comeing back, you can see it in the photo. i want to get some more fish the weekend and would like some advice on which fish to get that are not aggresive and are reef safe, so sugestions would be great

can anyone tell me which coral this is below? it is growing really quick

this coral had algie all round it when i got it with the live rock but has started to clear up over time

 

[SkiFletch]

Dunno what that is Ken, never seen one of those . The second coral looks a lot like a blastomussa wellsophyllia (not sure about the spelling there), or perhaps an Acanthestrea species.
