5.5 gal JUST FOR FUN

I recently started a 5.5 gallon nano just for something to keep me involved in the hobby until I get a larger tank setup.. Here are some pics. Hopefully!!!! It has a lights from my 12gal nano cube dx I just took down a month ago. Anyway hope you can see the images. I have 48 watts in a 5.5gallon tank.... thanks for taking the time to look..... Pretty much diy. Note the Wii background..lol...

Nice! what are the orange corals?

 

Pretty sure their montipora's of some sort. I'm still pretty new, not sure of alot of names, I just get what I like and what my friend who owns one of the lfs says will do well in my tank....

 

they look cool, but im a noob so im stickin to my LPS and Softies for now, maybe ill try a piece in like a year.... Good Luck and Good Growth!

 

thanks man same here. Learn as I go. 3Reef is a great help..... and also a honest lfs.....

 

Im lucky i have an honost LFS also, told me not to buy a bunch of maxijets when i went there first! Later i was like, "Why didnt he try and make me buy them?, would've been more money for him". He told me to wait for the Hydor Korallias to come out, told me they are the shizzam, but i blew all my cash on corals before i even bought one. My 55gal is my first SW tank and i have a 10gal FW tank upstairs that is gonna become either a refugium or a seahorse tank......

 

I guess were both lucky.. Honest lfs rock....

 

Agree with you there!

 

I do daily water topoffs and weekly water changes. I'm excited to see what I can keep with the amount of light I have.....

 

Ive got dual 250watt 14000k halides on my 55gal, and i dont have an auto top off so i do em by hand. Im gettin JBJ's auto top off controller for my birthday i hope. or maybe ill just get a float switch kit for $40 and use the rest of the cash for corals....lol. Im thinking of getting a coral banded shrimp on my next trip to my LFS, but i hope that my Pajama Cardinalfish doesnt eat him.
