My 6 month old 45g reef tank

Hi RC! First time poster, long time lurker.

First, thanks for great reading and advise which I have read and procced to what I think is a good start in this hobby.

I started my tank on the 22. august 2009 and waiting 3 months untill adding a CuC. At this time though, not really a lot of algae was present. In the 4th, 5th and 6th month I have slowly added corals monetering and messuring. Untill this date there are still no fish in the tank - There were supposed to be a pair of clownfish, but due to cold weather here in Denmark, the LFS are all sold out (just my luck) But I can wait a week more or two, I have waited this long...

Now, sorry for the quality of the pictures, not the best camera for water pictures, enjoy:

The pictures look very nice. I hope you don't mind a little criticism but many of those corals don't do well together. As they mature you're going to be very busy pruning some back or you'll have to let them duke it out and allow the victor to take over.

Agreed, your tank looks very nice & it is a good start but just a heads up that there may be space issues in the near future........other than that, looks good!
