back Shrew sounds like a nice set-up - does the 180 mean it has 180 litres?

Can confirm when I know the litres in the tank. Don't bother with 'Live' sand just buy aragonite


will this be ok for my stock i want not sure of numbers if some one could help with this aswell it will be Appreciated this is the stock i am wanting to get

No problem, I am assuming the tank is 180L

clown fish 2

Its got to be done

dwarf flame angel 1

Have been know to nip corals, but some don't, fine for your tank

humbug 1

Humbugs, can be nasty little things and wouldn't have with your other damsels (the clowns)

Royal Gramma 1

Ok

turbo snail ?

go with four to start

blue legged hermit crab ?

Go with two to start

and some shrimp dont no what sort or how many
Well, a pair of cleaners would be nice, but if you are going to have corals they can be a pain! I had a pair of bloods, but they are shy. I have about four peppermints, but again they are shy and only really come out after lights out - so you need to decide why you want them and then choose

mushroom corals
button polyps

thanks Seffie yeah the tank is 180l its the one that is pre drilled in the back right corner so i will make a weir and use them to take water to the sump and just have the return over the top of the tank now all ihave to do is start saving will be worth it in the end

It will indeed half the fun is in the planning

and yes, 24k is a good amount for your tank
