How long have you had your Brain coral? I have been wanting one but was scared off by the light requirements. Tank looks great by the way.

I've had the brain coral for about 1 month. At times it's really big, other times it closes down but all in all it's been really good. As for the Niger, it doesn't bother the corals at all, I think the Niger is one of the few triggers that doesn't bother coral. Actually the tang is bigger and will probably have to be replaced before the trigger because of size.. Since the only other fish are the 3 small ones and since I don't plan on adding any other fish I think the 55 gallons will be ok for at least a year or so.

Tank Looks nice.
A solid background wouldn't take away from the inhabitants.
BTW, I think that's Aiptasia beside your frogspawn.

Wow, really good eye!!
Very nice looking tank, but I would agree that a solid background will only enhance your inhabitants, not take away from them. Either way, your tank looks great.

It does appear to be a plate, but I am no expert. However, if it is a plate it should be placed on the sand and not on rocks. The rocks will damage them.
