well so far things could not be goin better except for the occasional glass anemone and the brown algae which is dissapering.
today i final got a pair percula clownfish that where healthy and looked great (i love them) i made sure they where captive bred to make them easier to look after.
when i saw them they were hosting in a leather coral. when i bought them i felt bad leaving there home there so i bought that as well they are now in my tank having a great time and the coral looks fantastic.
i will post pics later when i have some spare time.
i did have a conversation with the worker who said i couldnt put clownfish in a 40gallon tank. i appreciated his concern but he was talkin some rubbish so i got books and proved to him he was wrong:D but it is refreshing for them to question a costumer

Thats great news Callum, why did he say you could not keep clowns in a tank like yours as long as you keep the water quality right they will be fine in there. Hope you get some good pics and post them up of the clowns. Well done buying the leather as well good thinking m8. :) Eric

Nonsense, they will do very nicely in your tank. Look forward to the pictures Callum.

i have been trying to take some pics but they move so fast they are hyper.
the coral is having a bit of a stress session. but it is understandable
i will spend tomoz morning trying to get a decent pick of them

Looking good Callum, give it a few months and you wont be able to see the pink blotches. Infact I would say that the whole tank will look different as it sarts to mature.

That's a great pair of clowns you picked Callum. Bet you're glad you waited for the right ones ;)
It'll be no time at all before the pink puttie disappears, then you'll have a hard time figuring where one rock ends and the next begins :D
