55g Reef tank (going to be) lool

Well..... i have had a 10 gallon nano tank for about a year now and about 2 months ago i bought a 55g tank setup made by top fin... its alright but plan on upgrading to a 20g sump. I also need a protein skimmer, and a t5 light system (any recommendations). it has around 20 pounds of LR. as of now i have 5 hermit crabs (3 red 2 blue), one emerald crab, one blue regal tang (small about 2in), blue damsel, 3 striped damsel (had him since i started my ten gallon), one serpent star (brown), one condy anemone, and a xenia (which is new) they all seem to get along well... i had to take my green spotted puffer out when i got the xenia but its living comfortably in my dads tank now! (still miss him lol).

heres some pics... far from done!

pics dull the color of the rocks and anemone and makes my tang look bright lol






let me hear some input ;D

 

alot more rock (you need 50-75lbs total)

48" T5 4x54w (if your on a budget)
T5 6x54w (better, and if you want SPS)
T5 8x54w (best, anything you want to keep)

SLR reflectors with good bulbs, ie. UVL,ATI,GIESSMAN,etc..

need a couple power heads..

any name brand skimmer that will sit in your sump. shoot for a 60g to 100g size one.

 

Nice looking set up Delsslow

better get the lights and skimmer soon or your nem will suffer, good start keep going.
