We warned you about those damsels maybe a feather duster they're cool, cheap and easy to care for, also a toadstool leather as I've seen some clown fish lay on certain ones but I'm sure this is very rare to see

As for hammer corals I would get a branching one as they split rapidly then you can frag them and start getting some money back, also seen some clowns host, I would make sure the lfs make it close properly and are gentle when bagging so you don't loose any heads

Thanks guy for the response! Especially that quote. Russ, where do you have yours positioned? I saw on LA it said at the bottom, I was hoping to put my gsp on the bottom.

And I know, I should have listened. I'm not sure what to get instead? Any ideas? I really really love the flame angel but I know they are reed with caution.

Mine is halfway up the rockwork ill take a photo of it when i get in and post it.
I'd do the same and place your gsp on the bottom as you wanted to.
As for the flame angel id definitely steer clear reefsafe with caution AND they can also be pretty territorial too!
How about firefish I have a pair now they are great!?

Wow, it's quite large! Did you purchase it that big or have you seen it grow quite a bit? Do you feed it anything?

Sorry everyone for not replying! Our Internet has been down for a VERY long time, stupid BT! You'll all be glad to know that I haven't sold my fish tank. Push come to shove and I couldn't sell it. I do have some questions about it, but firstly does anyone know what this is in the picture? It just appeared and it's flying around like crazy! Got hundreds of tiny little legs on its side that flap.

Hi MJ! It hasn't changed I'm afraid! I've just got a new lid as mine completely broke, I turned on the light there was a bang and smoke came out the back. So I've got the new one in just this week actually!
I have a question for you though, I will do a water change every week on a Sunday religiously. Then within 2-3 days the whole of the back far right compartment will be empty, no water at all?? Does this happen to yours? I have no idea why it's doing this, it was one of the reasons I was going to sell it!

Are you topping up with ro water? I have to top mine up every night with about a pint of ro water as the evaporation causes mine todo the same! My tank has been running smoothly just had a major hit!! **** this is hard!

Yep, RO water! It's so strange an to be honest way annoying. It means the water tap has to basically be on 24/7! Oh no, what's happened?
