Hey all, long time no post here.. Been really busy with school and work... The tank has been really doing great.. I have upgraded from PC to 2x250 MH With 2x54w t-5 Blue plus to supplement... The results have been great. I have really seen growth in the past month that I have not seen in about 8 months under my PC fixtures (I had 390 watts of PC)

Let me know what you all think... I know my camera + photo taking skills could be greatly improved upon... But what do you want for a 2.1megapixel camera, and a guy taking pictures that drank over a half case of beer? hehehe :scared:

That's a fantastic looking tank! You've got some great coraline algae going on in there. I really like your clams too. You should put a black background on, it will really help hide powerheads, filter tubes, and other equipment. Two questions for you: How long has your tank been set up? What kind of supplements do you use?
:D

I also have some Q's. Are you rich or do you just spend alot of your money on your tank?lol. I am only 14 and i started at a 29 gallon FOWLR.
Is this how you did it and then moved up to a bigger reef tank? Also I plan on getting a 55, do you think that is a good size? Your tank is awesome. I love it.:happy: you can see my tank down below on fish photgraphy under "changes to my tank" ( how was the beer)lol. jk

Well, I used to be rich.. But now I am poor because I spent all of my money on my tank.... lol
Thanks for the comments / suggestions. My next tank will be designed from the bottom up with an emphasis on keeping all of the equipment out of the line of sight...
As far as how long it has been set up, it is just under it's 1 year aniversary. It has really come a long way.. trust me...
As far as supplements go... I really only supplement my calcium, and alk... As far as adding all of those other 10,000 supplements out on the market, I have found many to be a waste of money, and do nothing but add to your problems, rather than correcting them. The best way I have found to keep things in check and healthy, is to be religous about water changes. I change out 16 gallons every 2 weeks. I should do 8 every week, but my schedule does not always allow for that.
And as far as how the beer was, it was rather tasty!!! I am heading out the door for another 30 pack... They don't last long around here on the weekends!!!:happy:

Here are some pics of where the tank started out... I am guessing the tank might have been up around a month/2 months or so in these...
