Thanks Choff.
Since moving the coral stock over from my 130D everything has grown big time. Yup the toadstool is large but i kinda like it so will keep it until it get's too big then trade it off to the LFS.
I don't want to over populate with corals and rock as i like lots of space at the sides, back and front for swim room and to be able to keep things clean. When i go to the LFS now i tend to only get the odd small zoa or mushroom for colour and to cover some rock.
I like the way i have it set out now (at last). I don't want to mess around moving things and adding too much stock. The thought of another aqua-scape fills me with dread.

Just noticed that my red bubble tip anemone seemed a lot smaller than usual, i always loved just how big and colourful it was. Had a close up look and realised it had split into two! One of the halves is quite a bit lower down now, between 2 rocks so i am guessing it will go wandering to get more light. That saved me £35 - no need to buy another one now

Wow that's expensive.
I will keep my eye on the new one and see where it moves to, i have feeling it will want to climb up out of where it is and higher in the tank.

My bubble tip split, so now i have 2 that sit next to each other.

Thanks prsrock. I can hardly believe the tank is a year old now. Took me about 5 attempts to get the rocks right, but am happy with it now. Lot's of swim throughs and lots of room at the front (and sides/back) for cleaning.

I recommend getting your own live rock and creating a setup you are happy with, that's part of the fun. I loved creating my own layout (apart from the wet socks and rock slides)
