    Well guys as some might know ive been on this site everyday for the last couple years i started out with a 20gl went to a 29g bio cube and now have a 55g tank with sump. This hobby is awsome was very expensive and still can be but is less now that ive learned by trial and error im still learning but am able to help some now by what i have done and didnt do alot id say about 90% was help from this website alone. i actually re did acuascape last night and im starting to like my tank it is fairly new only few months and all equipment was bought used ive fought many battles and still am fighting algaes and other stuff but it is part of the game. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and i do only plan to buy bigger corals now days knowing how long they take to grow lol thanks for looking sorry for such a long post. Actincs on there way i sure hope it blues up the tank some new pics next week

    I like your setup and your fish look good. I've never tired pointing my powerheads like yours are. Maybe I should try it.

    Nice 'scape

    I hope you are planning on siphoning the substrate often you have a great nitrate factory there. I would use sugar sized aragonite or something a little larger only.

    Yeah it stirs easy. Engineers can do a real job on the substrate specially as they get larger.

    How Many pounds of rock are in there?
    What side Koralia is that? Is it your only powerhead?
