My daughters 30gal to 54corner upgrade

[tank o tang]

My daughter upgraded their standard 30gal tank to a standard 54gal corner tank. For what they lost in length they gained in depth. While setting it up I was very happy overall in the change of tanks.
Thanks to:
Garc for the tank
CT Cichlids for the light
and Exotic fish and coral for the sand ( when Bob's distributor messed up, he once again went above and beyond)

When my daughters choose to rid their tank of some softies I had to move over half of their rock to my other tank to insure non entry into this tank so I have some rock cooking that will be added to this tank.

Livestock includes:
fish:
tomato clown
6-line wrasse
yellow tank (calm down he's only in there till he grows up a little so he dosen't get picked on in my bigger tank)
My daughters don't have alot of interest in adding more fish but are really starting to take off with their coral want list.

corals (not in pic because they were put in the 40b due to wasn't sure when I would have a light over the tank):
blue zoas
pink zoas
green clove polyps
purple acro
green zoas
red candy cane
green candy cane
orange zoas
rpe's
birds nest
purple hammer
frogspawn
(and I wonder where all the frags I get for my tank go)

Light is a 150watt hqi MH
The hob filter will be off there shortly (needed something to clean up the sandstorm) and will be replaced by a hob skimmer.

Thanks again Joe. I'm going to have them give this tank a little time after I add the rest of the rock to see how the corals they have take to the tank and the new lighting. Lighting went from 4-36" t-5's to the 150w mh. They appreciate the offer but I have to make them wait.

Brian, thanks for the comments. Should be doing great but ended up running crazy this weekend with the girls. The 40b has a 250 over it, this is a 150 duel but only running one light. Stop on by.
