Things have been moved around abit, so it looks slightly different. i will take some more pictures later this week.
also running low on Rowa Phos anyone no where i can get some in Melbourne?

Considering getting one more fish to add to the tank in about 2-3 months. i was thinking maybe a chromis as there non aggressive and very active or a flame angel but there is the possibility he will nip corals. anyone have any Suggestions?

I personally love gobies in tanks your size, you could house a couple in there, I've done so in a smaller tank before. There are a few different damsels as well that are fairly small. Could always go with the shrimp/goby pairing for something interesting? Pretty sure most places sell Rowaphos in melba :) (reeflections, deer park, etc)
