[akinda]

could you all give me some info or ideas on what all you have in a 55 gal tank it would be nice to see what people can do with a 55 cause from what people seem to tell me it doesnt seem like alot.

Take a look at my website it features numerous specimans that have been in my 3 yr old 55 display. All of my current livestock will soon be transfered over to a new 100 gal display but its safe to say there has been a lot of livestock flourishing in my lil 55 for a while now.

Very nice NM.. nice web site too. Love the colored shrooms.
I have a 55, I like it. When my kids leave the house (get married, move out, whatever), I'll step up to a 125 I think. A few more years to go.

Not much left in our 55 gal, due to ich, but here's what we currently have ...
1 yellow tail blue damsel
2 perc clowns
1 bulb anemone
20 blue leg hermits
2 camel shrimp
2 turbo snails
with 60 lbs of LS and about 25 lbs of LR (working on more)
We did also have a starfish, a cleaner shrimp and a flame angel, thats what we lost when we used greenex, Learned from that mistake.

i'm in the process of upgrading to metal halides but currently in my 55 i've got:
a pair of GSM's, a 6 line wrasse, 1 yelllow tail damsel, and 1 yellow watchman goby.
your question was about bioload right? those are my mess-makers
i've also got about 85lbs of live rock, various snails/crabs/starfish
then i've got some frogspawn, alveopora, one colony of zoo's, one colony of regular ol' brown polyps, some hairy shrooms, random mushrooms throughout the tank, and a big ol' toadstool leather. my condy got evicted because it doesn't play well with others.
