Those are lovely fish, really nice. Just watch out for the Seargent Major and the Humbug Damsels they are very mean and aggressive. Tank is looking great.

Thank you Phea2
This is a photobucket issue....I'm not a rich man to pay them that amount to show my photos here..I will upload some pics of my tank as it was and how it is now.

My last addition










Butterflies now removed.....they were real danger to my corals

I only got into the hobby few years ago after i moved from Mauritius, i didnt know corals and fish were so easy to get there.

What are you using for alk, cal, and mag?

Is there any petstore in Mauritius that sells marine equipment?

I managed to get some corals on the reef patches...where coral reef is very near to the shore. I go to inspect and collect at very low tides ...mainly the brain corals. I have only 3 LPS acropora.
As for the fish, my wife and I collected them with small net...not easy at all to catch. The coral fish are mainly the chromis and the domino ( Three stripe damsel). As for the blue tang and other, I am still waiting. I have to count on divers and some third party fish shop.There is one company dealing with the export of fish like the Gem tang..I have not contacted them yet
I imported most of my equipment from Fish-store.com. I know two shops where you can get some items locally. They have to order for you if you need.
I just managed to get one chiller in one of these shops (Resun CL-650) at a very good price. I would definitely need that in summer. Now water temperature without chiller is around 25-26 degrees.
I have just started using Reef foundation ABC+.......imported from UK

This is a new addition. It's a Sarcophyton they told me. Bought from the only shop that would sometimes sell this item. They rely on divers. This is the only item in the tank,I paid for . Since I got all for free I find it expensive......20 USD.(lol)
