As you can see I have some pretty ugly algae on the back glass. :mad: Since I put a refugium in and got some caulerpa algae, it has been diminishing rapidly. :biggrin:

I do have a skimmer. It is a prizm. The crappy one. Seems to be O.K. for now. I don't have a very big bio load at the moment.

I am going to try and build my own in the neer futer.

Manderin Goby.

[Manny]

It is a psychedelic fish (Synchiropus picturatus), it is a type of Dragonet.

[Manny]

Mandarins are a bit different, and they are not Gobies, they are dragonets. :confused: But they are refered to as "gobies"

[littleboyblue16]

[danny zubot]

Nice tank!

IYWMO-you may want to slow down on your coral additions for awhile though and let your system balance out a little, adding too much too soon usually spells disaster or lot's of headaches. I run a prizm on 27gl and it's barely keeping up, so I would upgrade to something like a Euroreef :biggrin:
When I started reefing I made a rule to myself of only one coral or fish per month, not that I couldn't afford more it was simply to allow the system to adjust slowly to the incrasing bioload :biggrin:
