RHorton's 55 gallon

Well I decided to finally make my tank thread, I have been battling algae for a while but I am winning finally.the new ro/di unit has helped allot.
The tank is a 55 gallon with a 30 gal sump/refuge,it has been up for close to 2 1/2 years, the lights are sundial t5ho.
the bulbs are 1 x460nm,1x 420nm, 1x 12000 50/50, 1 x10000k.
I have a temporary heater in the tank this winter to help keep the tank stable in temp, I also have a 300w in the sump.
so on with the pics. (still trying to get used to this camera)

What's the coral in the middle pic up top? Looks pink, and frilly? BTW, nice tank!

 

Thanks everyone.

that would be a pulsating Xenia. I've tried to get closups of it but my camera washes it out. I just fragged it about 2 weeks ago.growing like a weed.

Galaxy coral, the rock is cover in algae but getting better since cleanup crew:

 

Took the seahare back yesterday, He was getting a little to big for my tank and knocking stuff over.My LFS gave me 20 in credit so I bought a bunch more snails. As a bonus they accidentally threw in a hermit crab.

 

Well decided that I really don't like the blue on the back so spent most of yesterday scraping the paint off the back carefully.

note to self: make sure you like the color before painted the back of tank..lol

My bother in law owns a vinyl lettering company and I had him cut a black piece to go on the back.
here is a pic without the blue:

it looks allot different already.

 

nice tank man!! keep it up!!
