Forgot the toad stool

 

And Formica Star. All of my corals started as frags, tank is 5 months old, all are growing very well especially since switching to LED. Ive been adding supplements' feeding corals 2 to 3 times a week (except the bubble coral...hes always hungry). Mixture mysis brine cyclopeze (alternating). Fish too. Phosphates 0, calcium 440 , dkh was 10.

 

nice start. I am about 6 months ahead of you with my 55, but very similar setups

 

Very nice! Not bad at all for 5 months in

You may have just forget to mention this, but the Scopas Tang is in the same boat as the Yellow (well actually it gets far larger than a Yellow, but you get the idea).

 

Yes, I figured that with the Scopus, but I have a friend who has one in a 55 for awhile now, figured I would give it a shot. To be honest, the yellow beats up the scopus from time to time which I know means getting him out NOW, but hard to catch him. Trying the soda bottle trick at home as I am typing this. So far I have caught everything but him. I am lucky enough to have a LFS who will take back anything from me, trade, even IOU's (I think he has a bit of a crush on me, but hey works for me). My son wants another coral, but I am thinking possibly some chromis.

 

Looking good

 

Looks very good. Your rock is very colorful! Looks like you have coralline growing well which is always a good sign!

 

Thanks guys! Yeah we have coraline growing pretty well. Growing on the front of the tank too though so every single day I am scraping it off lol.

 

Nice looking tank.
