i spent about a hour this after noon rearanging the tank so that there would be more flow through the tank.
no new things yet but i will be getting a clean up crew in two weeks and i have decided i will get a percula clownfish . i wont be getting it for atleast 3-4 weeks. i still need to get a better light before i get corals and i need to get a background for the tank, i don't think you'd find a brick wall in a real reef
please leave any comments or suggestions
ps. the photos arn't that great the aquarium looks so much better in real life. you can't tell when each peice of rock ends and another on starts :?

Looks really good.
I think the little rock balancing in the top left corner looks a bit weird though (IMO)
What flow rate is the powerhead?
Have you considered using a couple of 20W desk lamps (just an idea) for the lighting?
Youre right. tanks always look better in person IMO.
Keep us updated:)

LOL thats what i mean when i say you cannot tell where one rock ends and another one starts that rock is not balancing on another it is actuly on the sand . it is just coming up from behind it.
the flow rate on the power head is 1500L/h when i first got it i thought it would be too much water flow but is only just enough i also added a small 200L/h power filter to get more aeration.

i thought nothing of it at first, i rember when i added the live rock i noticed clicking, clacking and popping noises, i thought i might have a mantis shrimp but think any more about it. today after the death of the hermit crab i think i do have a mantis in my tank does any one know how to catch them :?:

Also if you see little holes in the sand just turn off the light if a mantis comes out of it scoop the little buggar up

there have been no more hermit crab deaths but the clicking drives me crazy i can hear it from the next room :x
it might also be a pistol shrimp because i have also heard that pistol shrimps make that cliking sound

You shouldnt give up just because you encounter problems. You need to figure out how to solve the problems, then persevere.
P.s. if you are packing it up, can I have your stuff
