Dave's 55 Reef (Updated Pics, see last page)

I had my dimond goby for 1/2 day day found him dried up the next morning won't get another one of those only $18.00 buck dried up on floor.

 

Hey nice tank and thread man, I like to see i'm not the only one who has bought equipment and replaced it a thousand times with better. Question, when you switched to the sump, did it help? did you notice a difference with anything? I want to make one i'm just not sure if its worth all the effort being as that my cannister has worked for me thus far?

 

Hey alex i saw the pics of your tank and there awesome!! and i saw you askin aabout a sump right up there and i was thinkin if you had a sump you could hide your heaters some pumps and filter intakes in the sump, your tank does look great but if you could hide some of that stuff it would give it more of a clean look. just an idea i know you were lookin of sump feedback so there ya go.

 

I will have picture update tommorrow, Sept. 1. My lights are out right now. I know I promised some updates and pictures, so I'll give them to you guys. My acans are growing very well as my montis. Ill get pics tomorrow though, till then.

Well I thought it would be about time to update my tank pics and new additions. I have gotten some nice growth so hopefully I will be able to do before and after pics. I have gotten some nice color on some corals, but others have lightened a bit, like the slimer. Here we go.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. The "before' green psamacora was taken about a year ago. The greenish chalice was taken about 9 months ago, the rest were mainly taken in early June, and the newest ones, the sunset, digitata, favia, purple cap and blue acro and green slimer were only taken between 3 months ago and 1 month ago. All of the "now" pictures were taken today.

 

these are really impressive then over that period of time
new to SPS and I am seeing things that pleasantly surprise me

Update

Just wanted to update some tank pics and some new corals. I added an ORA Bird of Paridise, I also got some really nice zoas for free. They were thrown in in an order I made. They are a deep purple with a yellow ring around the mouth. I also threw in an updated FTS.
