My first pictures of my 55

[jcarroll]

Hey! I've been on the boards for quite a while, but never have posted pictures. I've had this tank up and running now for 6 months. I had it set up before, but unfortunately we moved twice. So, needless to say, this tank has been through a lot. I finally bought my first coral today, some yellow polyps. I have 2 pajama cardinals, 1 royal gramma which I just got today, and some emeralds, hermits, snails, sand sifting starfish, and 3 shrimp.
Hope the pictures turn out okay!

Well, I'm moving really really slowly with this tank this time because after the two moves, I ran into some problems. I listed the fish above, but will do it again
2 pajama cardinals
1 royal gramma
1 sand sifting starfish
3 shrimp
3 emeralds
10 or so hermits
5-10 snails
1 yellow polyps
I'll probably get maybe 2 or 3 more fish, and other than that, I'm going for corals now

Thank you everyone! I'm so excited that you guys like the rock work! Hey, does anyone know what I could do about the brownish color of my yellow polyps? I didn't realize that they were brownish yellow until I got them home and looked at other people's pictures on here. Is there a way I can help nurse them back to health?

What kind of lighting do you have?

 

[jcarroll]

not good enough lighting for carpet anemones and clams, but enough to support most other corals. They are 12,000K 4 x 65 watts odyssea lights. Not sure much else about them. They were recommended to me by a friend that has some corals.
