I think it might. But how big is the shrimp?

That's always a good choice. Definitely super chill fish lol very nice though

Looks good fishy! What Hammer is that? I like how tightly packed it is.. Wall or branching?

 

[theaquareef]

That scape is sure looking good for how small the footprint is. You took good use of your space

The shrimp are about a inch Max.

I think I'll just get a cardinal for my only fish.

Thank you spoon, it's a regular green branching but under these lights it really pops. I took the pics not long after I put him in so he was still a bit deflated. I'll try and get some new pics of him today.

Thank you very much reef, I think the scape will look better when its covered in corals

 

[theaquareef]

Oh yes they will fill out really nice

Does anyone have some recommendations for corals.
I'm looking for rich colors and they need to be not to aggressive so I can space them fairly close together, they need to do well with medium light.
And obviously they must not grow massive

 

[theaquareef]

I loved my acan when I had one. It should do great with medium light also. Plus they come in some great colors. Or some chalice also, although I have no experience with them.

Fishy,
There is a LFS near me that has a Helfriche firetail in one of their display tanks and it looks a treat. Price is in the high end though around the $140 mark.

A purple firetails and Ranford goby would be nice additions.

Check out the Aquarium Warehouse in QLD for stock. They also ship interstate

Thanks reef, a acan is definitely on my list (one of my favorite corals)
and I'll do some research on the chalice. Cheers

Cheers jod. Yeh that is way out of my price range, I would rather spend that sort of money on a nice bunch of corals than a single fish(I'd be a nervous wreck worrying about the fish) thanks for mentioning it through. I'll check out the firetail and ranfords goby too.
Thanks again jod

Acans, Chalices and some LPS brain corals are pretty sweet looking ;-)

I like my chalice. It definitely is different and gives the tank more to look at. Zoas can come in some awesome colors

 

[Fishy 1]

:beer: :wave:

:beer:to you as well

So chalices are being mentioned alot I'll add one to my list
Yes there are some stunning zoas and some staggering prices as well

 

[bobbravo2]

Yeah. Zoos have really become overpriced. They used to be: red zoos, green zoos, etc.

Now they are: Ricks Bumrush Holy fire Grenade zoos, and STB neon white toxic blue zoos.

lmao! So true! They can be over priced but I always get a frag or two for like$5-$10.
They do have crazy names though! Mine was called a "Fantasia" haha. And bought another one called "super saiyan" (I got this one of course because I love DBZ, other than the fact that it looked cool).
It's pretty ridiculous but zoos look nice either way.

Hey G the name 'fantasia' sound sounds a bit sus to me, are you sure their not fantastic aptasia :lol:. But there are some stunning zoo's out there............that cost a fortune :facepalm:

 

[G_Sanab922]

Haha! If that was the case, that would be the biggest fail ever!
Stunning indeed!

Yes it would be I wouldn't be surprised if a brand new marine keeper bought aiptasia because they looked "pretty" and the lfs was happy to take advantage of the persons lack of knowledge:lol:
