    What do you guys think?
    65g drilled with 200w lighting.

    I have no luck with anemones though. Had 2 seabres and they died, guess not enough light.

    Very nice tank! What type of lights do you have and how long has it been set up?

    Thank you. Its Coralife 36" 50/50 with 96wx2.

    The live rock is years old, upgraded my 29g to 65g about 7 month ego. Got a steal of off craigs list for $350 with stand, sump, pump and euro reef skimmer, plus few fish. Had to trade in the little giant pump for a quieter and more efficient pump, other then thank the tank is rocking!

    you are seven months in and I do not see a spec of coralline. Not on the glass, plastic, nothing.

    I am also noticing the still hilly substrate.

    This tank is so clean it looks brand new.

    ;D

    Haha its not brand new. There is mostly no algee because I upgraded my 29g into this 65g. My old tank was already established, plus I also used live rock and water from the 65g tank as well that I purchased of off craigs list (the tank must have been running for at least a year, but it was neglected). Now the thing about the sand hills, what do you mean by that?

    I have hills in my tank too, partly due to my sleeper goby and partly due to lots of flow. I like the look really.

    Looks greak...I would do T5's if you wanted to have some success with anems :) I have hills in my aggressive tank because of my triggers..they are constantly moving sand!

    sebaes are very hard to care for. and yes you dont really have enough light. get some MH or T-5 then try a bubble tip anemone.
