Thats Banana, a yellow watchman goby. Very small fish so far and very pleasant. A good fish for you if you like it! he eats everything but is a little shy, he's getting better about coming out these days.

Carey, I like him, he is cute and colourful! I only really want colourful fish to brighten up the tank! How big will he get?
Chris- Take her shopping and that will be the only convincing she will need. Lol

Thank you for the link! In the picture the little dude is nearly as small as the snail shell! What other fish can you think of?

Back againn! Well, not much to add. I received my buckets in the post. 4 X 42 L, which is about 8 Gallons I think. They are flexy though which I never thought about... as long as I don't move them around too much and fill them to the brim with water they should be fine!
I am just about to order that RO unit Mj recommend. And also test kits which I thought were already coming but something happened so I am just re-ordering them. Test kits I am ordering include: Api Master Reef test kit, salifert ammonia, salifert nitrate, salifert nitrite.
Then I might just buy a small power head for now and upgrade in the near future.
Here are some pictures to tide you over:

What noway did you get it today? How much total? I visited the most grim aquarium store today!! It had the the orca tl550 tl450 and the betta lifespace on display but the tanks and stand were all overpriced! The corals there were all rotting away in this disgustingly dirty tank with 4 dead sea urchins in then the fish were all in these tiny nintendo ds sized boxes with no prices and then I got shocked that there was a tang and foxfaces in these miniature boxes Wich may I add you couldn't really see into! It was foul but the owner was the most helpful man ever and his freshwater fish were in perfect conditions, I wonder why the salt was bad? Anyways back onto topic he had one of those skimmers for sale in there for 100! Shocking!

Noo. I got it yesterday. I think it was £49 in total. Which sucks, but it's still okay...
Wow..that store sounds messed up. He obviously can only take care of freshwater. I wouldn't be buying fish there. Lol.
Were you tempted with either of the tanks, not the prices. But the look of? I really do recommend the Betta
Is that a bad price for a skimmer? Lol. I wouldn't know as I didn't have to look because my came with it..my cousin had a look at it yesterday. She said it was a pretty decent one aswell, so I am happy with that.

It all sounds brilliant! You seem to be finding some brilliant bargains. And noo, I'm not even sure I will be able to get the sand and rock in, I've spent too much already. I am only an apprentice. Lol. I have to pace myself a little bit more.
Sell anything in your house! Lol.
Where is the dealll!?! Lol. I NEED to knoww. If you know any places for anything else..please feel free to pass them this way

Mangroves and More
Now that is a deal you can't beat. If I had the tank set up right now I would have got that!
http://mangrovesandmore.co.uk/caribs...c66d98b97f84b2
For the sand.. what do you guys think? Is the above okay? If so, how many bags do I need? I don't want a deep sand bed, so just the one?

Thats a awsome deal. I think you can get away with one bag I think you want like 1lb per gallon. I like the fine pink sand it will make your tank brighter lol

Okay, I am gunna order just the one bag. I was wondering what affect the pink would have..sounds good to me.
How do you guys think this stock list sounds like? I think I could maybe say no to the Goby if I have to.
2 x Common Clownfish
1 x Yellow Tail Damsel Fish
1 x Orange Stripe Prawn Goby (Randells)
Too much? I thought because the goby is a bettom dweller it would be okay. But totally understand if not..
Please can you give me some advice
