Hey all,
Here is a shot of the tank with front cleaned (i know, i need to do the side! :P)
Few days ago I added in the small Toxic Green Torch.

What does everyone think of my first marine attempt

so far? Also, what would be the next thing I should put in, I was thinking of getting a Redline Shrimp and a Bangai Cardinal soon.

Look great so far :) I like your scape - looks like you'll be able to put lots of fun stuff everywhere!

Thanks @holly, any suggestions on what i should add in next?

That greatly depends on what else you eventually want in there (and budget, effort you can put into feeding/care, quality of lighting/water/flow etc). Fish wise you might have problems with aggression from the clowns as they are the first in there and it's a small tank.

That said - looks like you've gone for softies so far - would you be wanting to continue with that path?

I do like the softies, I would like to get a Pulsing Xena at some point. As I am still rather new to the marine scene I don't know a lot of beginner friendly corals. I would love to add in a redline shrimp soon too

Just read up on any new addition - just to make sure they fit with what you currently have. Some things eat corals, some things attack other fish, some things require a minimum amount of space. You could try zoas, morphs/ricordias, trachyphilia, dun cans (lps but they're hardy), and there are umpteen types/colours of hammers/torches/frogspawn. plenty of choice. Just be careful to find out which ones get along (which corals they don't sting). so you can make good placement choices. Also find out how large they will grow.

I really do like zoas, i might add some in the next month or so. I though the coral in the bottom left of the tank is a trachyphilia.. Or is it something else?
