Looks like you've got a nice start going there. I would add more live rock as opportunity permits.
In the first pic, I noticed you're running PC lights. What other equipment are you running?

yes its gunna be a reef, but ... only soft corals tell next year.
Other equipment ... like what ??
We have a filstarX2 canister filter, a prizim protien skimmer, and turbo twist 9 watt UV sterilizer. 3 660 powerheads, one running the UV. We still have the basic hang on filter, tell the new filter builds up some bio-media, had the new one for about 2 weeks now. ummm, im trying to think of what else we got in there. lol I let me hubby do the tech part, and i do the rest. LOL
And were working on more rock, got 32.5 lbs in there now, been adding about 5# per week as paychecks permit. hehehe
And thanks

I think you are off to a great start!! Very nice tank.
The only suggestions I have and these are only if its what you like. I would beef your LR up a little more and add some more variety of fish and I think you will be all set!! Looks great so far.

Been workin on the LR, would like another 20 lbs in there or so.
Right now we just have the 2 clown fish, i wanna get a flame angel and a blue hippo tang, but gotta get more rock in there first. Thats my plan for the fish anyway. We gunna upgrade to a 75 gal next year, might even wait tell then to get the hippo tang, but what else could i put in there that would mix with what we got now?
Besides the clown fish, we got, BTA, colt coral, thick finger coral, some mushrooms, star and yellow pollyps, 2 camel shrimp, 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 mexi turbo snails, 18 blue leg hermits, a purple tip anemone ( but it got sucked up in the filter an hour ago, so not sure if its gunna pull through) a green emerald crab and a anemone crab.
I like the firefish, but our last one just hide under a rock tell it went to fishy heaven, I want something thats reef safe (obviously) colorful and that can mix with the fish i plan to get int he future. Thanks for all the advise. :D

i need to start using my glasses more, i didnt even notice the corals in there :rolleyes: sorry
chromis are a nice fish too, i have 2 clowns and 3 blue/green chromis right now along with a LMB and just got a royal gramma. they all seem to get along fine.
most are gonna tell you to wait on the tang for a larger tank 125 is actually the recommended size that i see posted here.
good luck with it!:happyfish
