My New Tank :)

[louiserose]

This is the tank my husband bought me for my birthday. It looks quite empty in comparisson to the ones i've seen on here but i absolutely love it

We intend on buying more live rock and adding some coral etc at a later date.

It looks a bit red by the way cause the other half had his finger over the flash when he took it lol.

gorgeous tank! i like the way you stacked your rock. look at it this way--lots of room to grow!

edit: looking at it now, it looks like one big piece instead of a stack...either way, i like it!

awesome aquascape. i love shelves.

 

[Crepe]

Next step: Coral! You've got plenty of shelves for some awesome coral scapes.

 

[louiserose]

That's what we're thinking. I can't wait

Looks nice. Start off with corals like Zoanthids. They are nice and easy and stunningly beautiful.

 

[louiserose]

Thanks for the advice

 

[Mitchell0605]

Also look at Mushrooms (aka Corallimorphs).

looks great, a clam would look great on that top shelf, IMO

 

[Mitchell0605]

Need good lighting for that. A MH or T5's.

 

[melosu58]

A derasa or squamosa clam would do good under moderate lighting.

Not trying to be the bearer of bad news, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 51g a little small for a blue and a yellow tang, especially along with other fish? Maybe you could look into upgrading your tank size . Otherwise, awesome tank .

Sweet looking aquarium.

 

[Mitchell0605]

A1 is correct. The tangs are heavy wastte producers and very active swimmers. The Yellow Tang needs a 4ft tank and the Blue Tang a 6ft just so they can swim! Plus the extra water helps dilute the amount of waste they produce until it is removed by filtration.
