[Devaji108]

well done sir! love the scape really nice for a 55. will look really nice when you get some even smooth lighting worked out. keep us posted...

 

[Jeremy Blaze]

Like the aquascaping as well! 55s are tough!

 

[sporto0]

Looks good, in my opinion, you should have gone 75g or 90g, you will eventually, 55's are hard to clean, they leave you almost no room to work with.

lookin good

 

[Tahoe69]

Yeah I was looking to go bigger but I came across this 55g tank for free so i dunno about you guys bu I don't usually turn down free

1fish- thank you
Jeremy/deva-thanks I was trying to make 3 separate sections came together nicely

Yeah scaping a 55 is a pain because they are narrow. I had one a while back and did not like it to much because of that, a 75 is much better IMO. Looks like a good start. I recommend the Reef Octopus line of HOB skimmers. I however recommend adding a sump and getting rid of the canister filter.

 

[Tahoe69]

Yes I Plan on adding a sump later this year as well I'm thinking of either using my 29g or maybe a 40g breeder
