Killer tank blue_eyes53813. I wish we had basements down here in Florida. I bet it's nice having all your equipment down there.
Have fun at the fish store today.

Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

I got her... Camera is charging... What a beautiful fish. Within 10 minutes she was swimming the whole tank and doing very good.. I also picked up a pink pocillopora and a red/orange montipora... The montipora is very big and was a very good price... Thanks all for the very nice comments
