Looking good mate!!!! Now the fun begins of choosing what to stock

Sump .... Miracle & Caulpera now planted. 24/7 led light (3w/50w white/blue) adding coral/substrate to the front left partition for calcium adjustment naturally.
Miracle Mud is working a treat ...been in 2.5 months, no dramas whatsoever.

The scape came about trying to catch the spotted hawkfish, as hes being dominant towards the flame and cardinal, so started to take it out to catch him....changed mind but re hashed the scape.... Added 3 fish ( flame, cardinal & wrasse), now to take it easy till next pay, 3 weeks to go! lol
