Great looking tank. You`ve got something special there.

Thanks!! Now I want something BIGGER!!! LOL. I'm getting ready to setup a 55g frag tank with T5 lighting. I have corals over growing corals and I need to frag.

Looks good.
Nice male lyretail. You need to get him a few mates

I have 1 male and 2 females.

I bought 3 and the LFS held them for me but they all died before I got a chance to pick them up.

Well good thing they died at the lfs and not in your tank after you paid for them. Where you getting 3 females or total of 3 - 1 male and 2 females? I would like to get another female, but I don't think a 4' tank is big enough for them. My male isn't nearly as active as the females. They zip all over the tank and could definitely use a 6' tank.

frag tank huh? excess corals? I know someplace you can "put" them.

Seriously, amazing tank! I think I lost my montipora to that red algae problem I am having, but hopefully when the tank gets under control I can get another and buy a green frag off of you!

I am very pleased with the success of this tank. I don't think I have lost any corals as of yet. I have a couple that aren't doing as well as I would like but that's how it goes sometimes. My bubble coral hasn't done very well since I got it. I've tried a few different things to get it back to good health. As it turns out I moved it to the bottom of the tank in a slightly shaded area and it has perked back up. I also have one acro (yellow) that hasn't shown any growth since it was put in the tank almost 3 months ago. All in all though my corals have grown very well and have excellent color. I think in the next few months I will be adding a CA reactor as the demand has gone up a lot. I have been sticking to bi-weekly water changes of about 25-30 gallons and that has kept my CA levels high enough for the growth. I think it is just time to add a reactor so I can keep the levels consistant.

I'm going to take the extra 55g tank I have and set it up as a frag tank. It's not so much that I have excess corals I just want to keep a few of them from going too crazy.
