Do you have 1 Koralia #3 in your 55g? I'm working on setting my tank up (also 55g) and I was going to buy 2 K #3's. What do you think of the flow in your tank? What else do you have for flow in there? Thanks.

By the way, nice pics.

reeferman00 · 12/27/2007, 09:32 PM

how long did it take you to grow all those polyps on the right side?? nice tank btw. frags look good

reeferman06 · 12/27/2007, 09:40 PM

I have just that 1 K#3,the flow reaches the other side with know problem. Those zoa's have been growing for about 2 years, there are 2 different types. When i bought the rock(football size) there were only 5 zoa polyps, now there hundreds.

Awesome tank. very clean. What is your filtration.

SurfnFish · 12/27/2007, 10:20 PM

That Blue Tang looks big! I think your tank may be too small to continue housing him. I also have a 55, but I would never put a Blue Tang in there! Don't get me wrong, I'm not the tang police, I just wanted to pass that info to you.

I also have a K3 in my 55, and will be adding another to replace my Rio 1700 opposite the K3.

Nice zoas!

DylanE · 12/27/2007, 11:10 PM

mg426 · 12/27/2007, 11:17 PM

Nice tANK !!

AquaReeferMan · 12/27/2007, 11:24 PM

Nice looking tank. Now you need to upgrade to give your tang a little more swimming room.

SurfnFish · 12/28/2007, 09:52 AM

Ha ha, yeah, I'm not mad, I'm jealous! That is a great looking tank though!

zach0660 · 12/28/2007, 11:36 AM

The tank looks good. Im sure your sps would love the flow if you added another Hydor 3.

Your tang should be fine.. Do you plan on upgrading to a larger tank?

reeferman06 · 12/28/2007, 12:43 PM

Thanks everyone for the comments. I do plan on getting a 125g soon, but I live in a 4th floor apartment so I will have to wait till
I move in 8 months. I dont realy do anything special to keep it clean, I just water change and clean the glass, I dont even have a skimmer!
