Hi, and thanks for compliments. I'm not a into potography, i only make pohotoes for hobby. I'm happy that you like them. The salmacis bicolor has never give me any problem, it's always on the rocks or glasses, never never has given me problems with corals (like other species can do). This is the last photo of my thank, in April i've starded my new one, i will post some photoes soon

I see we have similiar tastes and your tank looks Gorgeous. I love your Synchiropus Splendidus and the way you take your photos. Are you into photography as well? Your pictures are just as amazing as your tank. How do you get your Salmacis Bicolor to stay in place and not sting your other corals?

Wow nice tank, I hope to get to that in 6 months too. Hey Perry what do you recommend for a protein skimmer and a sump. Is the Elos Natural Skimmer 1000 any good?
