My 54 gallon corner bow front

[Kannin]

I hope this works... I got my tank for my 40th birthday back in January. I new nothing about salt water other than it tastes bad. Now I am a professional reefer thanks mainly to the information and support gained from this and another forum. When I bought the tank... It had 1 rock, 3 fish, a 36 watt flourecent light and a h.o.b. filter. I got it on Craigs List for $580. I have since installed a skimmer, sump/fuge, 130 watt pc and a 150 mh, a half dozen powerheads, lots of lr and a small fortune in new inhabitants. I'm pretty proud of the way it has turned out. Especially considering that I could have easily killed everything in the first week. Now... Thanks to a couple very helpful repondents to my request for help... I think I finally know how to post pics... so here goes nothing. I hope you all like it.

This pic was back in April. 3 month anniversary

Looks really nice ! Glad to see you took the time and did it right .

wow very nice.

Looks great. I am glad that the RBTA has replaced the Condy anemone. Condys are a PITA IMO.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Kannin]

Thanks very much... The condy actually moved to the back of the reef. He's still in there but just not that visible.

 

[Anemonebuff]

It is good that it is still alive, but still a PITA.

Looks great Kannin. What kind of tang is that?

 

[SVXH6]

the tang is often called a chocolate mimic tang "A. Pyroferus"..

 

[Kannin]

Yeah... He's a Chocolate Mimic. If I had it to do over again... I probably wouldn't get a tang for this size of tank. The LFS talked me into it b4 I knew any better. I like him though. It just seems like he doesn't always have enough room.

 

[Ritten]

Never heard of a chocolate mimic. Pretty fish, can you get a closer shot of him?

Happy 40th

Nice aquascape and corals. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Kannin]

I'll post some better pics of him on Monday.

 

[Amphiprion]

Yep, very nice adult coloration there. Not really much of a mimic anymore, though.

 

[Kannin]

Like I said... the lfs talked me into him... I didn't go searching for him, so I don't know much about him. Are the juveniles more yellow?
