45 Gallon Mixed Reef

[Devilishturtles]

I have never posted my current reef tank in here, amazing. Thought I did. Anyways, here are some pics. It needs a water change BAD but in general isn't too bad.

Right now I think I have enough corals to fill the tank up as they grow but right now it looks bare. I want to get a few more sps to add some dimension to the tank but that will probably be my only other coral addition (err..maybe).

4 x 54 watt HO T5
Aqua-C Remora Skimmer
2 Aquaclear 70's for flow
Sand bed
About 50 lbs of liverock
Mixture of everything but soft corals
1 clownfish (1 went carpet surfing) the new bullet goby, and 2 Pajama Cardinals.
Hermits, Nassarius, cerith, and astrea snails. A few asterina stars from Mike, 2 skunk cleaner shrimp, and a serpent starfish.
Looking to stock with maybe another larger fish and that's it.

Very nice tank! How long has it been set up?

I have a question, what did you mean by having a "Mixture of everything but soft corals"?

 

[Devilishturtles]

Thanks guys.

Scott, I've had that urchin for years, he is my surviving hitchiker. He is the reason I'm not buying another urchin. Pesky things they are.

kay-bee, I meant a mixture of other coral types except for soft corals. So I have some sps corals, lps corals, and zoanthinds/mushrooms in there. No soft corals (leathers and the like).

This tank is fairly new. I set it up...less than a year ago, but most all of the livestock and rock came from my 29 gallon that I had set up for about 3-4 years.

I'll have to take another picture when the tank is actually clean.

Very nice looking tank Lindsay. I`m very impressed.

Thank you guys.

Hopefully with the addition of a few more corals it will be a little more balanced in regards to color.
