Jared's 55 gallon reef tank.

Hello,

This is my first fish tank, it is a reef tank, a bit light on corals, but a reef tank LOL. It finished cycling around Thanksgiving 2010, and this is what it looks like today. It currently houses a desjardini sailfin tang (Deja Vu), two true percula clownfish (Coral and Live Rock), and one peppermint shrimp (Pepe). Don't blame me, none of the names are mine, my kids and wife named them LOL. When I set this tank up, I thought it was HUGE, but found out that a 55 is fairly small for a reef tank, but it is manageable for a beginner like me. I now want to upgrade to a 180 gallon, or thereabouts, as my tang will require it before long.

Looks good man. Go for some bright yellow, red, and green next.

Thanks guys. I have a Deltec MCE600 skimmer on the way, that is the next addition. I want to add some LPS corals, I am thinking frogspawn or hammers.

Looks great. I also have a 55 gallon tank around a month old. I am fighting algae but it looks good otherwise.
