Starting my new 55 gallon excitement

It looks like you have low light plants??? If so, I'd start at 7 hours a day on the light schedule as a good medium. Adjust the time if you need to as you go. Dose a liquid fertilizer once a week. Thrive is a good product.

Thank you
One of the plants I have in three places need high intensity light to do well. Fertilizer helps but does not take the place of good lighting.

The fish I have so far.

With low light plants you could literally run small strip LEDs under a hood and be fine. Fertilizer does help quite a bit.

Wow looking at these pictures from almost 3 months ago everyone has grown a lot 3 of them died right away from that Ich. The Golden Angelfish are still there 1 of the Golden Rams he is 1 strong bugger. I have added a Salifin Pleco and some Corys View attachment 1View attachment 1 and 2 German Blue Rams.
They are all striving and looking good I think.

Not sure it seems pics sometimes have a mind of their own.

It is great to hear that you have some strong fish and good growth!!! It is a good feeling to be on a long track without getting derailed!

Try posting the pic(s) again maybe it will work.

I see a fw angel and a couple of pictures of live rock... Do you have a saltwater tank also?

Nice angel though... I have a similar gold one without the black streak, but the black looks cool.

The one is from before I updated since they grew. I am going to try. No salt water or live rock. I take pictures when I feed them.

The second one I didn’t notice when I bought him he had a pelvic fin missing and the top of his fin is bent but I still love him. I have seen no sign of the pelvic fin growing back lick I read.

I have one angel was missing one as well whene I bought him and it never grew back either. Just a little nub. Might depend on where it was detached.
