A Few Quickies of my 55g Newb Reef!

Moved some things around a bit, battling red slime but it's still my fav thing:

 

Nice tank! Looks great

 

wow looking great! nice style of "overflow" haha

p.s. i wouldnt call yourself a newb, your tank is amazing!!

 

Thx, yeah it's a young tank, I see some of these other amazing reef tanks and I want to go hide they're so amazing, that's why I call mine a noob reef. I'm learning everyday, but it's such a rewarding hobby.

 

Gorgeous tank

 

Nice tank. Some very nice corals you have their! What type of lighting are they under?

 

Thx, I'm just running a Coralife Lunar PC 4bulb (2 10K & 2 Actinic) fixture 260w total. I know T5's can reach farther down into the water column but my corals have been growing nicely under the PC.

 

tank looks incredibly bright in the picture MoJoe
and those corals look very healthy to me

Thx Steve, yeah no complaints from me on my lighting. My goniopora is actually doing much better under my PC's than the MH's it was under at the LFS before I bought it.

 

Hey, we are always learning but you got right in it and that's the way to learn. You have a very nice tank with breathing room for the fish and coral to grow. When my sand starts to get full of algae I stir it up and let the filtration system do it's job. Make sure you have a fresh floss ready to swap out the dirty one with after the water settles down. That might help. There are red slime removers that work. Otherwise I love the colors of the corals. Have fun!
