My 265 gallon in wall reef.

Well I finally get to snap some shots of the beast and money pit. The pictures are not the best but bare with me. This is gonna be a mixed soft,LPS,SPS reef. A little back ground. This is my 3rd tank First tank started in 2001 was a 44 gallon(small). In 2003 I set up a 125 gallon tank(still small). Just this July 2005 The big beast was installed and set up. Its been a long haul. My basement is in the process of finished , but all my extra $ has gone towards the tank

You can see where my priorities are, lol... Here it is. Remember they arent the best, Im still working on the taking pictures part too.

OOooooOOOEEeeeeeEEE Blue eyes

Very nice. Your shrooms are large....
I take it your a fan of Damsels.
How do you like your Anthia's, they are one of my favorite fish.
Do you scrap the back wall of your tank? It's sooooo clean.

Hi kimpossible, The damsels I have arent agressive YET, lol I have taken a few back to the petstore. The 3 stripe are the only ones I have trouble with. I love the anthias, they light up the tank. Yes I scrape the back. I only want coraline on the sides ,rocks and pumps. Thanks for the reply
