here are some more pice.. the last pics of the tank are from about 1 month after it was first st up. it looks way diff now. i should be putting up the pics of the way it looks now by this weekend.

 

[julio martinez]

these pics were before the 6 t-5's that are now lighting the tank. and if you notice some of the pics show a standard tank and the other pics areof a reef ready tank. this is because 1 week after setting up the tank a friend gave me the reef ready. so you can imagine the mess. plus tha stand was not made for a reef ready tank.

Coming along very nicely!
Love that big clown!

 

[julio martinez]

thanks but he is no longer in the tank. i had to get rid of him. he gut into the bad habit of digging to many holes and knocking any over that was near the anemone. i lost a whole gap colony because of him. he flipped it on the anemone. that was the straw that broke tha camels back.

im sorry i meant gsp not (gap).

these are pics of the 55 about two months ago.. there have been some subtractions and additions to the tank since then.

[julio martinez]

how did you get it to stay on the glass? Did you use one of those magnetic frag plugs?

 

[AquamanE]

very nice. keep up the good work.

 

[julio martinez]

canes fan 44: what i did was, i used a little bit of superglue gel and glued the cap to a small piece of egg crate. then i glued a small magnet to the eggcrate. i just didnt remeber that they grow and as they grow they get heavier and the magnet that i used was one of those small round magnets that are used in arts and crafts for fridge decorations. so i've had to add a few more magnets to the eggcrate since then.

AquamanE: thanks dude I'm trying.
