Last night I put the live rock of my old 55 gallon tank into my new 30 gallon tank. And pics arent the best and they should be lol... I spent 1000 bucks on my video camera cuz its an HD videocamera with 80 gig hard drive space and it just doesnt take good photos, but man the VIDEOCAMERA on it is sick though, guess ill have to spend even more money on a digital camera. I think once I mess with the setting they might get better... anywhoo heres a few pics





LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

Just a hang-on now til cycle is done and im gettin metal halide lights.. my whole light fixture will be 380 watts.. 250 metal halide light 2x65 watts pc lights and 4 blew lunar led lights.. So ill be able to keep anything I want pretty much...
But once cycle is done i want use any fliter just let it get done the natural way with a lot of live rocks thats why it is so full...
And downsized cuz I live in the dorms and 55 gallon takes up a lot of room and water changes I have to carry 5 gallon jugs around and itll just be easier now...

U think that'll be to much? I didnt think so Its just a 24 inch fixture to go across the tank... The 250 watt Metal halide light is the day light blub and the two 65 watt pc bulbs are just actintic light bulbs and has three built in fans to keep it cool...

You want your turn over to be 15x-20x your gallons. Your tank is 30 gallons, so you'll need a total of 450-600 GHP.
