My 54G Mixed Reef (pic intense)

Back from my trip and all looks well. Reefmeister2, whats up with having to push all those buttons to change your water? That seems like a whole lot more work.:lol: JK. I like your setup but mine is much closer to this.

I did decide to rearrange one last time (yeah right), and here are the results.

I think it added a lot more depth to the tank, and creates a nice ledge up high for sps.

Traded a couple extra cleaners for the first coral in the tank.

I am trading off the rest of the extra cleaners to a club member tonight, so I will add pics of those when I get em.
 
Thanks, I had been avoiding resting anything on the slotted glass but after looking a lot more closely at your setup I decided to give it a go. Really nothing is putting force on the glass it is just touching in a few spots. The rocks are very secure but, in the event of a avelanche the rocks would tumble away from the glass rather than towards it, while the other way I had a 50/50 chance as to which way the rocks could fall. So I am actually more comfortable with this from a saftey standpoint, and I think it is more asthetically pleasing as well (always a good combo).
 
I like the last picture the best. Nice job arranging the rocks, looks like you have plenty of room to place corals with that setup.
 
A couple more cleaners are gone and heres what I got....

You guys are going to have to bear with me as I learn how to finally use this camera properly :p .

Heater will go out tomorrow. Sorry about the delay, Master's Class are having Finals this week. So lots of studying has been going on.

No worries Keith, you still need to PM me your paypal so I can pay for shipping.
 
Could that be some sort of nudibranch? Did you post an ID request elsewhere? Whatever it is, it's cool looking. Hope it's reef safe. LOL I can't even tell if it's a creepy crawly or something that doesn't move...
 
Just taking it slow right now. This just came out of the quarantine tank....

Full tank.....

The bad news is I have seen quite a few parasitic isopods in the tank :mad: . Oh well, no fish for a while!
The tank is actually skimmerless right now as I decided to put the CSS on my 29 and buy a PCI Octopus 200nw. This is obviously WAY to much skimmer for this tank but, hey at that price I just couldn't pass it up and my 29 needed the upgrade from the berlin airstone skimmer anyway.
 
Octopus skimmers are really nice. Considering i got my nw 150 for 140 including shipping!! It is rated for 250 gallons i think and i only have 80. A little overkill?? nahh
 
Dan,
The heater is finally on its way. Should be there on Wednesday.

have fun trying not to get shocked.

I figure if it is too big I am planning a 120 FOWLR next year so I can use it for that.

Keith, I too sometimes worder about my sanity. After all who in their right mind goes around trying to find a malfunctioning heater that will without a doubt put current in the water :eek2: .

Dan
