[Logzor]

Critiques and suggestions welcome.

Running 4x54 tek light

aquablue
aquasun
super actinic
aquaplus

Running sumpless with CSS 125 skimmer.

Flow: 2900 gph flow, 2 K3's and 1 K4


Should I swap out the actinic for another aquablue?

That black tang on the left is awesome! What is it?

 

[yoboyjdizz]

That is one of the best shots i've have seen around here. Good work.

Looks good. The macro algae might be over growing.

 

[psteeleb]

great looking tank - I'd also like to know what kind of tang that is

 

[schigara]

The Tang is not black. Lighting in pic kinda makes it look black.

It is a Tomini Tang, AKA Flamefin, Bristletooth
Ctenochaetus tominiensis

Wow, I just bought a 4 by 54 T5 light. I'm glad to see how well your tanks is doing on one.
Good job

nice tank....what is the aqua plus bulb you say is the last one ???
is that a blue plus????

 

[Logzor]

Thanks for all of the compliments everyone!

Yep that is my Tomini Tang, very fun and active fish.

Bulb combo from back to front is:

aquablue special
super actinic
aquasun
blue plus

The macro algae is Dictyota, it has been a problem that I have been trying to solve. Adding more flow, raising alk, adding chaeto and massive manual removal has been effective.

I am going to put in some kind of rabbitfish to finish off the rest.

That is beautiful! I like the variety of corals.

 

[Logzor]

Thank you!

Hopefully when they all grow out they wont start attacking each-other!

Great looking tank. Everything looks great. One of many good shots around here on RC.

 

[stuccodude]

im digging it, id be proud

 

[Logzor]

I would like to thank everyone on RC. Without the help from this forum I would not be where I am right now.

I am now to the point where I can give people lots of advice, which is exciting.

I am hoping to continue a mixed reef and hopefully get a sump one of these days. I would rather wait until I can get a 90 gallon RR system.

In the meantime my goal is to keep increasing the density and variety of corals.

Logzor, i have a FoxFace Lo that devours any/all algae. they are not expensive either.
goto: liveaquaria.com for detailed care. :thumbsup:

 

[SEAN888]

Beautiful, great lighting!

p.s. I have that heater

 

[Reeftanks6]

Foxfaces are great at picking at hair algae. I bought one a few days ago for my 90g. He is currently in my old 37 qting. But he already loves to eat nori and algae. He eats everything thing.

 

[reefman13]

Has to be one of the BEST 55g I have ever seen. Nice job.

Get a black background on it and it will even look better.

 

[Logzor]

I have considered a black background. What would be the best way to do this. I can not move the tank and it is about 6 inches away from the wall.

I was considering buying some of that stick on tinting from home depot.

What do you guys think? It may be too hard to roll or spray paint it in position.
