Joe's 55g Reef Tank

Hey 3 Reefers,

Just thought I'd share my 55g Reef with everyone as a way of introducing myself. I've had it setup for a little more than 4 months now and everything is going very, very smoothly (knock on wood)- I had been a freshwater aquarist for 6 years prior. FYI, I do not plan on adding any new organisms to this reef tank for quite some time.

Inhabitants:

30+ lbs Fijian Live Rock

1 Picasso Triggerfish (1.5" maybe)
1 Starry Blenny
1 Yeallow-Headed Jawfish
1 Golden Damsel
1 Bicolor Blenny
2 False Percula Clownfish
1 Eibli Angelfish
1 Diamond Goby

1 Reef Lobster
1 Emerald Crab
1 (tiny) Blue-Legged Hermit Crab
1 Yellow Polyp Colony
2 Spiny Astraea Snails
1 Astraea Snail

All parameters are perfect, everyone has their own spot and get along famously!

 

Having a hard time uploading pics...seems to be taking forever?

Could anyone lend a helping hand?

 

It might be easier for you to upload pics to a photobucket (or similar) account, then post the links with the

 

upload your pics to photobucket first, the past the direct link using the image tool.

 

sounds very nice moses. lookin forward to the pics. but upon readin your fish list, you might be at the point of overstocked. also might add , you could use more in the line of clean up crew. just my observations, but i could be wrong

 

Well divott, I'm very close but the way I am about monitoring my tank I think I'll be okay. I'm very dedicated to observation and frequent maintainence (I always do my scheduled water changes and monitor my parameters daily), so I'll notice if any levels become high or organisms decline in health. Pics should be up soon!

Beautiful dog BTW, what breed is he/she?
