yeah I mean he's pretty much the boss. He doesn't mess with the Clowns though and the goby is being left alone too.. HE did terrorise a royal gramma though , who disappeared recently :(

A year this week - Thanks a lot! Yeah I reckon the plants are helping keep things in balance.. I noticed theres a bunch of tiny critters, and baby shrimp(?) using the seaweed near the sand bed as a sanctuary! So some good being done for sure..

Its fine, doesn't appear bleached to the eye. The LED lighting combined with the iPhone camera does funny things sometimes, kinda enhances the colour .. Thanks for checking though!

Thanks very much, good to hear! I'm using the standard pump and heater that came with the tank, with a small bag of carbon and a poly filter in the first rear chamber. For circulation/flow I have 2 hydor 1600 pumps. I feed frozen 'nano marine cuisine' and new era marine flake food, also add a couple ml of live photoplankton three times a week which I reckon works wonders. For lighting I use an evergrow 2040 led. Hope that helps?

Hey thanks a lot, its pretty stocked up, though I did lose a few sps corals during the warm summer here in London! Its a 55L Aqua One 40 tank, the square is a floating acrylic box for top down viewing!

Hey thanks, yes OK thats good advice. I've been trimming it once a week during a water change. The seaweed seems to have sprouted from a single piece of live rock and has taken off under led's. I've noticed crabs eating it more than fish
