    New to this forum, so HI everyone!
    I've had my 55 gal saltwater tank for just over a year now. It's set up as a room divider with both sides of the reef visable. I run T-5 lights, a bak pak protein skimmer, a penn plax cascade 1200 canister filter, with a penguin 500 power head on the opposite side.
    Some reef inhabitants include;
    swallowtail angel
    coral beauty angel
    six line wrasse
    dartfish
    engineer goby
    clarkii clownfish

    pink frogspawn
    metallic green frogspawn
    golden polyps
    red kelp
    green, white, and purple star polyps
    red gorgonian
    assorted mushrooms
    assorted polyps

    I am looking forward to alot of fun and learning here. See you in the posts!

    Cool, someone who has the setup i'm going for so I'll be nagging you quite a bit for knowledge. I just converted my
    55G frontosa tank (beautiful and hard to say goodbye to) over to S/W setup. I have the cascade 1200, Bio wheel 200, Marinleland maxijet 1200 PH and 20 lbs live rock with 20 lbs sand on it's way. I used the existing water and just added salt thinking that the established water would be good, it looks fantastic and theres not even any fish in it yet. What advice would you have and what would you do from here? Ammonia-0, ppm 1.023, No2/3-0....I'll get some pics when my wife teaches me how to do it. Thanks for anything....

    Looks like you've got a heck of a lot of coralline. That's beautiful. Keep up the good work. And welcome to the best reefing site in the world!
