    Thanks all,

    Cindy,

    It's just a normal 4ft long tank 48in x 14in x 18in which I think is about 46 US Gallons I think.

    Have a look out for a book on Coral Propogation by Anthony Calfo, apart from some very sound general aquarium advice he goes into some detail on coral propagation.

    I haven't currently got a stocking plan as far as fish are concerned, but I have been told that I must get a purple tang. The tank already houses a Maggi, the living stock cube, a blue damsel and a hawkfish, also have a linkia starfish.

    As far a coral goes, I just trawl around the LFS and pick up small frags as I see them.

    Oh, and yes, the washing got done and hung out and dried. Then put in a basket and thrown in the corner as usual.


    John

    Annick,

    I'll send you some better pictures of the rock. I'm also sure it's some type of SPS ( Montipora?). Not really sure it's dead actually as the colour is very strange.

    I was thinking the same thing. Scary aye? :)

    Remember, send the picture to my work address. I don't have it in me to continuously forgive you ;)

    Annick,

    Yep will do, well, maybe :)

    The rock has what looks like a velvety coating, quite colourful and unlike coraline in texture.

    I'll take quite a few pics and send 'em over for your scrutiny.

    John
