55g Reef Tank


In I used the same setup techniques and equipment as usual: deep sandbed for filtration, two empty power filters for water movement, a 300w heater, and intially Normal Output (NO) flourescent lighting that came with the tank. After the cycle finished, I added some liverock and then waited a few days for the tank to equalize. One thing I did experiment and learn on this one is that latex paint is fantastic for painting the background of the tank. It dries both quickly and smoothly, while being extremely durable.

A tank tragedy several months ago unfortunately resulted in the death of both Porky, and from complications of whatever occurred also my tomato clownfish. I have since added two foster A. percula clownfish which quickly teamed up with my "lemon peel" angelfish (Centropyge), and they host in any of 3 green bubble-tip anemones(E. quadricolor) that are recovering well within the rockwork of the right hand side.

Pictures are being added as they are taken, and the pictures of Porky will stay indefinitely.
