Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

I got my anthias from saltwaterfish.com last week but I cant get a good picture of them. I also got the skunk clowns in the last picture. They are all doing great.

Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

It looks awesome blue_eyes, great work getting over that algae or bacteria situation !
I can't believe I didn't think of Dinoflagellates , maybe if you would've said a "snotlike" or "boogers" it would've rang a bell

Reefs.org: Where Reefkeeping Begins on the Internet - Dinoflagellates, or was that "Boogers with Bubbles"?

Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

Hmmm When I get this trauma under control??? What will I do???? Never thought about it but... Maybe a shopping trip for a whole weekend to many many many pet stores and spend some $...

Or maybe even a big upgrade lol

I will work on some close ups for you.
