Pictures of my new 55

As promised, here are a few pictures of my set up. Still cloudy, but when it clears up I will put more up.





Like I said, its still settling in. But man I love it... I know it is not that much bigger than what I had, but it sure seems to have lots more room.
Oh, and I put the reef together when I couldn't see anything. Not bad for doing it blind. Added my corals back in after I could see.

 

Good looking stand and hood.

 

+1 on stand and hood.. looks good

 

Thanks. I just love craigslist. Got everything including 2 brand new turbo twisters UV.
all for $200.00 How could I say no to that. All of it is in perfect shape. No scratches, dents. Its in perfect condition.

 

How long has this tank been up and running?

 

I originally had a 47 bowfront, it was about 9 months old. This 55 I got this past saturday and transfered everything from my 47 over. Nothing new in it, used my sand and my rock.

 

Yes, that it why I was asking. The new sand and rock will cause a cycle, just how much of one you don't know. Coral could be o.k. if the parameters are real close to the 47 parameters i.e. Calc, Alk, Mag, PH and salinity. Lighting will be different also. Hope for the best. I like the aqua scape. Looks like a good microcosm from a reef.

 

what are the dem of that tank? is it a normal 48 inch long tank? i like it alot!

 

Looking very nice. Congrats on the new setup!

 

very nice! your blind aquascaping is bettet than when i aquascaped blind, sure is hard to see what your doing, but your's turned out really good! Congrats!
