Linden,

:bounce1: :bounce2: :bounce3: Hey great! Your tank looks incredible. Verrrrry, verrrrry nice. :D Do you just have Chromis in there or are there some other, camera shy, fish hiding somewhere out of sight? You keep the glass beautifully clean too even the back, it makes it look so neat and tidy. :)

Keep the pics coming :D

Regards

I'm going for the reef top look so I scrape all sides to remove the coraline algae which grows very quickly. I gave up using the bought scrapers and now use a 4" wide stainless steel kitchen spatular. Thats the beauty of glass. The fish include:

2 chromis
1 sailfin tang
1 purple dotty
1 manderin

I have many blue and red legged hermits, 1 bright orange fromia, and three sexy shrimps. I hope to get more shrimps of this species to build up a family group on the anemone.

I've attached a picture of the tang
