    Very nice setup with a nice assortment of corals. A job well done! Did I see a Convict tang? I love that fish.

    Few more pics of the frags I recently bought. Branching chocolate polyps, the mother colony was around 16" long. They seem to change colour from dark brown to a lovely shade of green.

    Thanks guys for the comment K to you :)

    No work tomorrow so had a late night with a lot watching the tank :p and glad I did, the clowns have well and truly moved in to the Nem. Even as the lights have gone down and the nem receeded a lot the clowns have stayed with it. One thing I have noticed is that I hasn't receeded as far as it normally does. Perhaps it feels more protected with the clowns there?

    Hi all just a little update.

    I managed to get the back of the tank done today, not paint :/

    I used a solution from Seaview to stick my already (and slightly tatty) background to the tank, bought of Ebay with nextday delivery.

    By no means is it perfect and from painted tanks not up to a perfect finish but part of that is down to my tank being so inaccessible and part down to a knackered shoulder :p

    Anyway I am happy enough with it and will do until I can afford to upgrade to a 4x2x2 :)

    Heres a before and after :)
