Looking like the beginnings of a masterpiece mate!

Thanks Nils!

Ok, time for a bit of an update.
Couple of verts added. 2 peppermint shrimp and some snails.
I put the the peps in because I was starting to see quite a bit of aiptasia popping up everywhere, these guys literally cleaned it up in 2 days:eek. They are aiptasia killing machines. There is none left.
Anyway ammonia is 0, nitrite 0, nitrate has come down from about 1.25ppm to 0.5. Phos has come down from 0.21 to .13. Pretty happy with things atm.
One of the peps even shed his skin today. here are a few shots. Forgot to add, I am dying to throw in a couple of Clowns..

I agree, another really nice possible addition!

Ok.
So fish list looks something like this:
Pair clowns
Flame angel
Midas Blenny (after seeing Aarons)
Purple Dotty Back.
Others:
Pair of Peps
redine cleaner.
Trying very hard not to get carried away and overstock.

I'd swap out the flame angel for a flame hawk mate

Oh man, and I thought the fish list was going to be easy.
Flame Hawk now on tentative list alongside the flame angel.

tonyf What do you mean by a purple dottyback?

If you mean Pseudochromis porphyreus, then these can get a bit cranky

A better choice may be an Orchid Dottyback - Pseudochromis fridmani

Or maybe a Royal Gramma

How will the peps go with the flame hawk?

[slin1977]

Percula Clowns are my favorite or how about the black and white ones?

 

[tonyf]

Hi Guys, thanks for all the suggestions and tips on fish!!

Anyway time for a little update. Tanks coming along nicely and am pretty happy so far. Also started dosing for cal and alk as my levels were quite low.
They are now around cal 400 and alk 8.3.
What's been added, a small hammer, a little trachy (hoping she'll open up)
And a pair of clowns. Love these guys.
Oh and a little Redline thanks to Aaron!
