tank pics

I used aquamend from homedepot. I have some sps from my last system that I kept in a nano while I moved. I just did everything I wish I did with my first system i setting up this one. I do have sand but in my fuge (25gl), this way I can shut it off and replace it.
 
Here's my tank:

Look forward to it, really good job on the aquascaping so far.

Here's mine, I used acrylic and fiberglass rods to stack rock pillars. Note this is a post hurricane-ike shot, and I need to do a bit of maintenance.

 
Here's my recently rebuilt 75g. Kind of barren in this pic taken a few weeks ago, but there are now a yellow tang, 3 chromis, 2 ocellaris, and a black cap basslet in there. Once I beef up my skimmer in a few weeks, it'll be time for some frags :D

Well, I tried to edit, and quoted myself. Not too bright. Here's a big picture.

Wow! I love your rockscape! I really love pillars.
 
Did you get that 55g yet? Are you taking the damsel to your LFS? These pics are nothing like what you can expect from your $150 maximum budget.

I'm not trying to be harsh here, but you need to accept the reality that you can't afford a tank like these... Get a nano tank and start there.

(See skillet's other thread if you need some context to this).
 
You got all of those tangs in there to live happy? Man, I can only have like 2 tops maybe :lol:

Very cool scape. I'm going to redo mine so I have more open swim area, but here's a FTS from a while back to give you an idea:

how do you take a full tank shot that shows everything that well?

yes no problem with the tangs. it is all about the age and when you add them to the tank. they all get along well. also I feed them alot to keep them happy, and I over skim to remove the extra waist from all the food.

My guess is it was just taken back far enough to fit the entire width in the frame, then the top and bottom were cropped out in MS Paint or other photo editing software to make it 'widescreen'.

You get stuff to show up good with a good camera :p

getting deals are an exciting part of the hobby, no doubt, but eventually you're going to need to pony up more money. I'll be next to impossible to get your entire system setup with freebies, and the tank is a relatively cheap component of the entire system.

Just keep in mind that with a very limitted budget, you'll get a whole lot more mileage out of what money you have working with a Nano. They have their limitations, but you can setup a fully stocked, sweet nano, for a small fraction of what a 55+ gallon would cost.

Good luck w/whatever you decide!
