55 gallon fowlr

Hello everyone new to this site. Wanted to share my set up. I've changed my set up a couple times. Tanks has been up and running for little over 4 months now. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks
here is the start up 50lr, 60lr, 200w heater for cycling tank.

two weeks later added a octopus skimmer bh-100 running with a marineland biowheel 350 I know its not for saltwater, yes this is my first saltwater aquarium

After a couple of months I switch equipment out went with a sump and overflow
box eshopps, added a quiet one 3000 for return piped with 3/4 pvc and a swing check valve, and a coralife super skimmer 65

About a week later I picked up 7lb of lr to add and some chaeto also.


and this is the up to date shot of the tank

as for live stock I have two chromis, three turbo snails, a few hermit crabs, and a few Nassarius Snail, and a cleaner shrimp. Feed back is always welcome so let me know what you guys think.

 

I like the rock work! Starting to shape up nicely. Go slow. If coral are in the future plans, wait a few more months.

 

So far so good IMO. Nice job.

 

I like the rock work too. Nice how you have all those little caves/overhangs.

 

yeah in the future, but I'm going to wait for a year. Still need to upgrade my lighting. Thanks for the feed back.

 

That was the plan and thanks for the feed back.

Update nitrate finally down (0-5) also picked up a pair of clown fish and more CuC.

 

Picked up a set of t5ho 4x54 lighting on CL for 60$ makes a big difference from the little pc's I had on. Let me know what you guys think.

 

Nice deal on the lights.
