Thanks so much all for tagging along - tank is cycling (will post some pics as soon as the light unit arrives)

Thanks Helga & great to know - did not realise they were the same (going back to your tank now to go through it in detail)

Evening Reefers,

Firstly would just like to thank Steven & the Team at Exotic Aquariums for installing my tank & lights etc - you guys have done a great job.

Well I have done most of the aquascaping, and moved a few corals and fish across - some quick pics

Like a work of art !!!

some suggestions - loose that cleaner wrasse, they are a PITA when it comes to clam nipping. Secondly, maybe try get those crocea up higher on the rocks, closer to the lights. Not a lot of mantle showing, which is not a good sign.

Thanks for the advice - all crocea were on rocks higher, but kept "jumping" off - will keep trying & agree with you. Have had the cleaner in my study tank for 4 months with 5 x clams & to date have had no issues, but in my 5-foot tank the cleaner there did nip all clams - so am watching very carefully.

Of he keeps jumping off put a nice piece of flat LR under him, let him attach then put him back on top
