First tank - Pic

[lukeb321]

Heres a shot of my first tank - will be FOWLR.
Was in the middle of a water change when taken so dont worry about the water level.
Still cycling with about 100 pds of live rock. Has a 260 watts lights, two penguin 350's, bakpak skimmer, 3 maxi jets 1200.
Eventually looking to add 2 clowns, dwarf angel, and a six line wrasse, with a nice cleanup crew.

wow, beautiful! :jumping: how many gallons is the tank? I LOVE the rockwork - some pple don't like the rocks up against the glass, but I like the way it looks. Just make sure you've secured everything really firmly so it doesnt fall and scratch the glass... or harm an inhabitant! :scared:

Keep the pictures coming!!!!!!!!!

 

[lukeb321]

Yeah, there pretty secure. Took about 4 or 5 different arrangements to make sure they are just "right" and secure.
I know some people like more open area, but I have always loved that "full look" of tons of rocks with never knowing what might pop out of a little crevice here and there. Oh and its a its a 55 gallon.

Sweet. Nice rock wall.
Just a thought, I would make sure to introduce a Dwarf Angel last. I tried to introduce a Six Line after I already had an Atlantic Pygmy Angel, and the Angel kicked the crap out of it.

The LR arrangement is nice!

Do you have sand or crushed coral on the bottom?

 

[lion_crazz]

Wow, that is a really nice looking tank.

Looks like you need to add a little water to you tank. But so far it look good.

I guess you didn't read the post.
Anyway, thats awesome, much better than my first tank!

 

[lukeb321]

Different lighting.

 

[bwonder]

NICE!

 

[lion_crazz]

Very nice!

 

[who dey]

very nice, make sure the intakes for your 2 penguin's are easily accessable. they need to be cleaned from time to time.

 

[who dey]

would make a nice reef tank, even with the fish you mentioned. they would all be fine in a 55

 

[bwonder]

What did you change the lighting to? :thinking:

 

[jam marine]

good start

 

[lukeb321]

Same unit, 260 watts just the last pics are with the blues on.

 

[bwonder]

I was looking at the 260 ODYSSEA Jebo lights. What brand do you have?

THat's not a normal dimension 55 is it? It looks taller and a little more narrow (from the front) than mine, or a typical 55. That looks really good in the corner.
