Maker,

I think this is the measurements:

30L X 21W X 19H

Nano_reeflover · 07/15/2006, 10:28 PM

Well, I just got my tank today. Hopefully I'll have some pics up within a week.

The green acropora in the back is dead now thanks to my yc goby. Pre-fish it thrived. Both monti's were small, unspectacular frags that have exploded. The green one was brown when I got it and is another third that size since that pic. It's in much more flow now. The porites has also been going gangbusters for the last year and a half. I had to move the tank 6 months ago which gave me the perfect opportunity to rearrange. New camera and pics are coming to a theatre near you soon!

Cool. I have two HOB Powefilter 60s and a Prizm skimmer. I guess a good advantage would be to get a better skimmer. Also, I have 4x65W PC from Orbit.

I noticed that you have a maxima clam of some sort. How is that doing and how long have you had that?

There are some specimen in your tank that others would argue as impossible to keep under PC lighting. I am a PC lighting kind of guy and would like to know how, besides PWC, are you able to keep SPS and clams under PC.

Thanks.

PS: That bubble coral looks awesome.

Nano_reeflover · 07/19/2006, 06:39 PM

Here is my 55 gal. Its not the best, I just started it.

sloshesv · 07/19/2006, 09:29 PM

I see youoooooooo

I like the LR set up.

Nano_reeflover · 07/19/2006, 09:43 PM

lol Yeah I should have closed the shades for a better shot

Anyway, I plan on making some more rock to fill in the empty spots and build the 'scape taller. The pic doesnt really show it, but there are a lot of little coves and such. Like on the right side that is an overhang/cave kinda thing.

edit: I need to change my sig

dougie · 07/19/2006, 11:25 PM

just need to get some fish/corals.

thanks 4 sharing.

Cheers.

The far left of the tank is xenia.

The big cluster you are refering to is Anthelia. It is over a foot in diameter. I have been growing it for 18+ months. Here is what it looked like when I first got it.

This is a picture from last month.

My tank is NOT a 55g, but it's close.....for inspiration (I hope)... Dennis

Nano_reeflover · 07/20/2006, 03:00 PM

Heres a couple of pics I just snapped of xenia, blurry GSP, and colt coral.These are in my 15 gal refuge/growout tank.

vest0830 · 07/20/2006, 06:30 PM

I hopefully will get my 55g this weekend. Some people here are leaving the island and leaving me with a 55g, Tunze stream, 2; 175w halide/CF lighting system, dual overflow, refugume, sump, skimmer, super nice stand/canopy...cant wait! Its been together for about 2 years, sandbed is very stable...everything. I cant wait!

Now I gotta look for aquascaping ideas. I wanna put something super stable together. Can't wait!

jiggly75 · 07/21/2006, 05:57 PM

those are some really nice tanks everybody, good job all

vest0830 · 07/22/2006, 05:53 PM

more?

Nano_reeflover · 07/22/2006, 06:23 PM

Well, I moved some pics around in my album, so now they're missing. Ill put them up here.

Nano_reeflover · 07/30/2006, 11:22 AM

I got more rock, a black and white occelaris and corals, so here are some pics.

*** for some reason photobucket resized some of my pics.

Great aquascaping, I really like it.

Nano_reeflover · 07/30/2006, 11:42 AM

Thanks! I'm gonna start a thread about my tank with a lot more pics in this forum.

TWallace · 07/30/2006, 12:55 PM

My flame hawk likes to perch next to this clam.

Neon wrasse (great pest control fish, eats zoanthid-eating nudibranchs and pyramidellid snails) and zoanthids.

Percula clowns, GBTA, pearl bubble coral.

Neon wrasse, xenia, zoanthids, flame angel.

Pipe organ and ricordea. That pipe organ is constantly being moved (I think by emerald crabs or the neon wrasse). It's really annoying.

This toadstool leather has quickly become one of my favorites. Easy to keep and beautiful when fully extended like this.

The toadstool had some hitchhiker zoanthids on the base, really dark with orange centers.

How does the CSS 220 do for ya? I will be getting one of the CSS soon, don't know which one yet.

It works great. But after reading the octopus skimmer thread, that might be the best bang for your buck ATM, but I never checked if they have a HOB.

The 220 needs some minor mods to reach its peak, the baffle box is a pain... But overall I am really pleased with it and I think it's the best HOB i've seen in person.
