Thanks clkwrk. As far as the bugs go well they just came in a month or so back from a piece that I did not qt from the lfs becuase of medical reasons. But I should have them taken care of here soon.

easttn thank you verry much. I know you had an awsome tank right before you incidents with the pump or someting like that.

Gorgeous stuff. Good luck with the Dictyota removal; that stuff is very difficult to get rid of. Let us know your progress!

great looking tank man. Everytime I try SPS, they turn completely white. How do you convince them to keep their colours?

Beautiful tank Mario! You have a very nice acro and monti collection in there.

As for the dictyota, you can take all of the rock out and scrub it and it will come back... you can starve the tank and it will continue to grow... you can epoxy over it and it will grow right out from underneath the epoxy.... I've battled it before and know how much of a nuisance it can be. I found that naso tangs eat it like candy. I've recommended nasos to others with dictyota problems and everyone has had the same results. A naso will get big for your tank but you could add a small one and make plans to donate it to a public aquarium when it gets too large.

Fantastic pics!
I'd keep red bugs as pets if they would make my corals look like that!

Hey guys thanks, the dactoyda has been an issue for about 10-11 months now. I set this tank up with new rock with notting on it and it was still able to sneak in. Oh well I guess that will have to be part of my job to clean it everytime I do water changes. But other then that this are doing realy great. Now I just want the acros to explode in growth then I will be happy. I will post some more pictures in a few days I will see if I can borrow a DSLR from my friend and take some macros shoots.
