Hi all...attached is the picture of my tank...would greatly appreciate any comments...

Livestock in my tank

2 x Percula Clown

1 x Purple Tang

1 x Blue Tang

1 x Blue Devil Damselfish

2 x peppermint shrimp

By the way, just to check if 2 x peppermint shrimp is sufficient to clean up the sandbed and LR of all algae and uneaten food??

yah wrong forum, should be in the other one whereby everyone displays their tanks... =)

Anyhow, just my two cents, live rock a bit stacked too closely, may want to open up more make more use of your aquarium 'height'. since you have one or two branch live rock so can make creative use of that but as always aquascaping is your individual choice. also those that were mentioned are difficult species to keep so you need to watch out incase they 'go up lorry' and contaminate your water and killing off rest of ls.

looks like you've got an overflow tank at the side, not necessary to have bio balls and coral chips to grow bacteria since you already have quite a bit of lr. may want to put more filter, add some rowaphos between the filters to keep phosphate level in check to prevent algae outbreak. as is, i see quite a bit of'unwanted' algae growing on the lr already. (green, you want purple coralline)

introduce a wave maker to the side to generate more water movement this way the tank will look more 'alive'.

but all these are just my input. other reefers or enthusiasts will have their methods =) mine is only a small 3 ft tank. simple FOWLR tank.
