Hey Everyone,
My 55 gallon tank has been set up for almost 6 months and I am just finally posting a thread about it..lol
For my soft corals tank has Army green,blue ice and Watermellon zoanthids,Rics,Mushrooms,metallic orange mushroom.
For fish I have a cherub pygmy angel fish,black & white clownfish,sixline wrasse and a firefish.I had a yellow clown goby but moved him to my 10 gallon tank.
Inverts are 3" feather duster,emerald crab,2 bright red foot snails,sand sifting starfish, linckia multifora starfish, skunk cleaner shrimp,peppermint shrimp,30 astrea snails,10 onyx and 15 cream color nassarius snails.
This is my 4th saltwater tank. I want to upgrade my lights so I can get stony corals. I have 105 watts PC's and want to upgrade to about 240 watts. Next paycheck..haha
These pictures were taken about 2 months ago. I will try to get some better more recent pics and pics of more of the corals soon :) A work in progress but I wanted to share with everyone.

Thanks Everyone
Not a big fan of Koralia powerheads. I have one in my nano but not to fond of it..lol I have found Marineland powerheads are personally my fave to use.

Meowzer it is a decoral large purple sponge. My family wanted a nemo looking tank..haha as this tank is in our living room. Hence the bright fake sponges and such..hahaha

Thank you
I had alot of fun aquascaping with this rock. I like how it came out too.
Also I noticed the pictures of the tank look way over saturated. It doesn't look like a cartoon tank in real life..hahaha

I love them. I'm jealous over the zoa's I have no luck with them at all. I have no idea why I can't keep them alive. I've killed every colony I've every gotten except 1 and it's a dull brown/orange, not even that pretty

Thank you
I have found zoos to be really easy
One of my big colonies seems to be having problems.I hope it recovers. What lighting do you have your zoas under? They will die and turn brownish if they are not getting not getting enough light.
Added a Koralia 3 to the tank as I needed more flow.
