Looks sweet dude!
Sorry for the lack of updates, been rather busy.
Here is about 4 weeks worth of updates, enjoy.
UPDATE:
After spending about an hour re wiring the European plug to a UK plug the moonlight leds are in. They have a switch which allows 7 different brightness so might play about with that a bit to find the best one.
So the lighting schedule is:
11am - 12pm - Blue leds only
12pm - 8pm - Blue leds and both tube lights on
8pm - 10pm - Blue leds only
My camera is not the best for low light but here are some pics anyway:

UPDATE:
This weekends work included:
- Replaced stock light tubes with the marine white and marine blue, what a difference it makes.
- Bit of a LR re scape, I will be adding more and more rock so thought it was best to position my current rock to the back of the tank now so I can build on it and not have to do it once there is more fish in there.
- Cleaner shrimp added
I should be going to my friends tonight to pickup some more fish and about 8kg's extra live rock so will post some more pics tonight.

This weekends work included, removing the Juwel internal filter box. I have an external filter and more than enough live rock so no need for it, its just taking up tank space. I also added 2 Peppermint shrimp and 1 Cleaner Wrasse.
Todays work will be to remove the left over sealant from the internal filter.
Here are some pics, the shrimp were hiding:

Recently I added a Anthias and a purple dottyback. Also I decided to jump off and start keeping corals, being new to corals I have gone with something simple to keep, a green mushroom coral.
Anyway here are the pics.

Nice setup. What camera are you using??
I have had my Cleaner Wrasse for almost a year now and he is going strong his name is Mr. Jitters but I can never get a very good picture of him he darts by so fast I just end up sometimes with a blurred image of him. I think he is one of my favorites in my tank.
