email gareth@portonaquapet.co.uk which is Porton garden centre near Salisbury Wilt. Ask Gareth if he can get it or has it in stock. We us them for 90% of our supplies they get most things, and are very well priced. Say Kate from Corsham gave you the email address.

When we first set it up we had 8 chromis, the unidentified badger fish I go on about in another thread, a dragon wrasse, 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 boxer shrimp,2 neon gobies, turbo snails and hermit crabs as well as mushrooms and different polyps and bush corals. Bare in mind the fish were all tiny and the corals etc were tiny amounts too.
I didn't want to put the chromis in there - not 8 anyway! but hubby insisted we should for the short term.

Anyway,with the lack of water movement it developed a lot of powdery algae which knocked back the corals and polyps to almost none existent.

We stripped the tank out a few weeks ago and re did it adding a large bit of (possibly indonesioan) live rock and have decdied to leave it as more of an invert/reef tank.
Wit the addition of an external skimmer and filter it seems to be doing great.

so, in answer to your question we have:

2 cleaner shrimp
1 boxer shrimp
turbo snails
hermit crabs
1 badger fish (as I call him)
2 neon gobies

and the polyps and bush corals are starting to reshoot again now.

We put the dragon wrasse and chromis in to our large aquarium.
