Beautiful tank and corals! Great job!

If I can make one suggestion - and only because I wish I'd of understood this before I placed my torch coral - keep an eye on that torch coral. It looks really close to its neighbors, and if yours is anything like mine, they don't tend to "play nice with others" and will try to kill off everything within reach. I had mine also in the center of my tank because it seemed like a good centerpiece. It was, it grew like a weed in no time... but it also meant that it could reach a LOT of different corals. It kept getting fragged to make it smaller, but eventually I just removed it from my tank and sold it to a LFS when it decided to go on a killing spree against my stylophora.

Don't get me wrong... I absolutely love the torch, anchor, frogspawn, etc corals and they're some of the easiest and fast growing corals out there. But you just have to watch them and make sure they don't go on a rampage against other things that can't fend for themselves. I'd hate to see that brain and montipora get damaged. Hopefully it'll play nice, but just be aware that it may not.

thanks for the comments Kurt, i have moved the montipora away from the torch, put it a bit father down. as for the hammer it is about 6" away from the brain, in the picture it looks abit closer. but i will also keep a eye on it after lights out.
really makes me happy when guys like you with your great tanks, say i am doing a good job. i was abit worried about starting a marine tank at first.
cheers

Mine extended sweepers during the day, all day. The day I had to go in with tweezers and physically pull the torch's "stuck" tentacle off the sylophora was when it was removed from it's prime location and banned to the back corner of the tank until I could get it a new home!

i was abit worried about starting a marine tank at first.

So was I!
