55g SHARK TANK!!

[emperor11]

Haha...gotcha, didnt I? Here are some pics of my 55 gallon. It is soon to be a reef, but I need some more things first. BTW, I dont use RO water (i know shame shame, working on that right now) and my tank sits in direct sunlight for about 5 hours a day, so I get a lot of brown and hair algae. Keep in mind I'm only 13...but anyway, feel free to comment/criticize!! Below are my tank specs

55 gallon all-glass aquarium
200w Penn Plax Heater
1 Aquaclear 300

NICE, you may want to get a bigger clean up crew, i see what you meant about the urchin

 

[treybom]

[emperor11]

Tbom, you're right, a yellow tang might look nice. IDK, I'll have to think about it. And Cain, you're right, I lied...so what LOL. Fedukeford, I think I need a bigger cleanup crew too. Ha! And tbom, my pom pom is very shy, but if he ever shows himself in plain view and I happen to have the camera, I'll snap a shot!

Hey you want to know what would look really good in your tank?!?!?!?!
A lion......................... to bad you have small fish already in your tank the lion will eat them.

 

[emperor11]

I dont know about a Carpenters, but I am thinking about a fairy wrasse of some sort. And, dad and son, I could do a dwarf lion with all my small fish, but my mom wont let me get a lion....
