Default Pic's of my Tank - My Reef Experience

I picked up my new Blonde Naso Tang from Gold's today, he is doing well and eating like a pig... while taking some pic's of him, I decided to take some other pic's of tank and some inhabitants. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

You are correct, it is coraline algae, I have a few areas growing like that... they look like heads of lettuce and are quite large.

I have changed my images and am now pulling them from my website. Easier to view and no limitations for me. HEHE

I will try to put more pics up soon, once fish start coming back out... They were hiding cause of the camera flash. Other fish I want to get pic's of are:
- Potter's Angel
- Solaris Wrasse
- Bangaii and Pajama Cardinals
- Maroon Clown hosting to an open brain
- Red Banded Shrimp
- Purple Lobster
- Much more coral shots coming soon.

That is a Sohal Tang, my prize fish... Been very lucky as they can be very aggressive... and he was, but is calming down with age. He is about 8 inches now from head to tail

they are a beautiful fish, I love the colors, he was hiding so I couldn't get a good pic to post tonight, will get one though.

Tank is finally at a point where I am happy to post pic's, only took over a year to get it there.
