beautiful set up. Man, i wanna build a bigger tank when i see pics like this!!!

 

Thanks

Jim522, You dont need a big tank. The best thing i have ever done was getting rid of my 90 gallon and downsizing to this 55 gallon. Lately i have been really into those sweet nano setups loaded up with a million tiny fish haha!

 

yea my little 20 is alot of fun, but i feel so limited as to what i can stock when i see these big beautiful set ups like you guys have. one day ill convince the wifey to let me upgrade...but ill always keep my little 20

 

Here an attempt at some top down shots

Acans


Garf Bonsai


Duncans

Birds eye view of the left side of my tank

 

Awesome looking corals-very nice color-Alot of mine looked like that (vivid color) under the lights from the sources I bought them from-part of the reason I upgraded lights-did not help-oh well.

Again Beautiful stuff K+

 

What kinda lights are you running? where do you run your Alk, cal, and mag at? If you start seeing your corals lose color then the first few things i would look at would be daytime-nighttime temperature swings, Alk, and high po4/no3.

 

I dont have corals losing color, they just dont have the intensity I saw under the 400 watt or 1000 watt XM 20K bulbs
that the people or suppliers had were they were bought

I have SPS 20K bulbs
I have a dual 250DE 20K MH with 4-65 watt actinics
My water has
NO3-1
PO4-.02
KH 11
CA 440-450
MG 1350-1370
SG 1.025
temp swings 75 at night to maybe 80 in the day if its hot around here -its been cooling so the tank stays around 77

Not sure what else I can do???

Check out the pics on my tank and let me know your thoughts.

Tanks!
