hey guys thanks 4 all the comments!!
in answer to a few of your questions,
the tank is now four and a bit months old
inhabbitants = 2 perc clown fish, 1 bicolour blenny, 1 long spined sea urchine, 1 pencil urchine, 3 cleaner shrimp, usual snails and crabs
corels = 1 xenia frag, 1 mushroom leather, 1 pussy leather, 1 staghorn leather, 1 finger leather (seeing a theme here lol) 2 different set of coloured shrooms and a few zoos scattered here and there, oooo and a star polyp forgot the yellow polyps 2 lol

like i say soon as me cams up ill see if i can get some close ups for you! any requests?

 

[Matthew5664]

love the look you've put together! could we get a close-up of the pencil urchin?

Also what substrat are you using?

 

[Pheonix]

your wish is my command,

hes very well cammoed!! pain 2 get the camera to focus on him but u get the idea

the substrate is figi crushed corel sand comes in 20kg bags from my lfs its not live or anything i just let it seed from the live rock its excellent stuff not the tiny it all compacts together but not so large the snails and stuff cant move it!

any more requests?

What shop I'm in guilford but alway interested in burning the gas to scour another fishshop with good drygoods.

 

[Pheonix]

urban aquatics, its in rainham essex directly opposite the albian pub, their dry good selection is excellent, the live stuff can be hit and miss all my corels have come from there bar 2 little ones and they are all fab but u have to be patient and wait for the good stuff to come in, fish are in good condition aswell although they dont really have that large a marine collection, if i want it they order it for me, simple as lol

I was curious if you could mix some crushed coral with sand as well or would it better to just go with one or the other. I have some sand but I like the crushed coral look that ur tank has. Thanks in advance. Dave
