55 gal tanks and there inhabitants

[arjayl]

I just gave away my Tang because a 55 is too small. I made the mistake of trying to do a fish/reef tank...choose one or the other. Doesn't mean you can't have a reef tank without fish, just without fish like a tang JMO. I'm dropping some pictures of a DYI Fuge I built for my 55..and some pics

Here's our 55 Gal. Started this hobby 8 months ago. So most of its new except the LR and LS.
Currently there is 50 lbs of LR, 60 lbs of LS, 2 false clowns, 1 coral beauty, a purple tang, yes a tang and he is well. That is all for fish, got 2 cleanershrimp, a few blue leg hermits, 2 snails. All the rest are anemones and corals

Sorry for the delay...working off that Turkey! Check out this thread https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...highlight=Fuge
If you look at the picture of the tank, I had to remove the center brace, slide the sump and fuge in, then put the brace back in place. Of course I needed to support the tank for the 15 or so minutes the brace was out...used a 2x4.
