Tony and Kelly's 55 gallon build

Yes! my tank doesn't even have water in it yet, we are still gathering up equipment. but the fish stickers may help my impatience! lol
btw, great looking aquarium!

 

i had one on there when i didnt even have water in it haha

 

And with the stickers, you can "sticker stock" it anyway you want. Have a shark, a ray, whatever you want. Ya the old sand was probably the problem. Its always best to just toss it get new like you did. Should start to settle down. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the kind comments. The stickers are indeed funny. I just came in and low and behold the fish have moved. When I asked my son what happened he said that "fish don't just stay in one place dad". You simply cannot argue that point. still confused about the dinosaur but it makes the tank look cool.

 

Well added the extra rock now that all the water params are back to normal. moved all the livestock back in ans so far all is going good. Have close to a hundred pounds of rock in it now.

My wife did the aquascape. What does everybody think? We now have plenty of room for corals. Next month we should be able to get 10 or so frags. We cannot wait but we both know we have to.

We also put in a couple of new additions to the clean up crew. 5 sand sifting scarlet hermits 12 more turbo snails and 10 more blue legs.

The chiller is now hooked up to the 55 and water temps stay right on 77-78. sure am glad i went with the bigger chiller.

 

its neat looking though im not a big fan of the turbosnails i had 2 in my 55 and they constantly knocked down corals >,<

 

Thanks for the kind words. As far as the corals go, I used to have that problem but a little crazy glue stopped it. Also it was not my snails but the hremits. I gues they felt like they had to clean under the coral.

 

Coming along just fine...lookin Good..

 

Have not done an update recently. Water params have all come down and all is well. Added some corals that I got from reef empire. Also added some fish over the past month. here are some pics of the new stuff. I will post some more pics later when i get better shots. i also added a coral beauty but don't have a pic along with a clown.
