well since my 2 clowns died not much has hapened. i have re-scaped and moved a few bits nd bobs around. i made a surface skimmer. then made a better one today. hopefully itll work nicelly. i am planning on getting a hang on fuge this weekend when i get paid. so i can have the heater out of the tank and some phosban in there too. then im getting an arcadia overtank lumaire with 4 x 39wt t5 lamps. this should sort the lighting problem out. well. if there anything else anyone can think of that i need please speak up heres a few pics :

(still dont seem to be able to get a neat bead on the silicon. i spose its because the unit is so small so i cnt get a hand or much else in there to sort it )

Looks to me like you need some more live rock in that tank. What are you intentions with this tank?

 

[new_world_disor]

well when i get the better lighting i want to go for some corals and im after 2 clowns and a firefish. other than that im not to sure. i have 1 large chunk of LR in my old tank.

if ive got rock thats been out of a tank for a while.. whats the best thing to do with it ? jetwash it and put it back in ??

Cure it to let the decaying matter disolve before adding it. What kind of corals are you looking to keep? Inverts also require a healthy setting (noticing your cleaner shrimp in the pic). Many corals and inverts you will need good biofiltration = more live rock. About 1- 1 1/2 lbs per gallon would be a good start.

theres about 20lbs in there now its a 30g tank. i have 6 hermits and 6 turbo snails and 1 cleaner. im not sure what corals i want to go for yet. gna go for sps eventually.
