Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

Thanks everyone... Wrangler I have 2 clowns but that is the only one I can get a good shot of. My orange clown hides alot. I have a red bubble tip anemone coming for him because the maroon stold his anemone. The orange clown is my oldest fish in the tank but he doesnt like cameras. I do water changes every other Saturday and I change 25-30 gallons.

Wow looks great Blue! I am surprised that you have a orange in there. I tried having a Maroon and a Orange, but did not work.

Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

outstanding,,,your boyfriend should kiss your kalk~

the tank is great,,but can i add a comment? on the doors, get som 1" flat rubber and glue it to the back of the framing,,it will stop the light from beaming the gaps,,,

as for the tank,,,i cant say a thing but very nice~

Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

I have been asking around about the fish. A pet store In Madison Wi has a pair in there display tank that is just beautiful and they said they are the calmest of the calmest for angel fish. I love the colors/markings on the male watanabei. I cant waite to get them. They have me on a waiting list for the fish.

Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

I have kinda abandoned this thread. I have a few more corals and fish I will get pictures of this weekend. I am going tomorrow to get a watanebe( sp) angel that I ordered from a pet store in Jan.. I wanted a male and female but only the female came in. Awesome beautiful and expensive fish. I promise to post pictures.
