WORK IN PROGRESS (PICS)

[dinhouse]

Here are a few pics of the many stages my 55gallon has been through. I am trying to turn it into a nice reef tank. but as you all know this is a very slow exspensive process.

I have added two 95watt VHO actinics. As soon as I make a few minor hood adjustments the 95 watt vhos will be replaced with 110 watt ones
as always questions and comments are welcomed!

Well, like I've said before, the tank looks great!

Tank evolved quite nicely...very nice. I take it you don't have sump? Coz there will be less clutter in the display tank if the heater is in the sump...among others. But nonetheless, the tank looks nice.

I was in the process of building a sump when I got a great deal on a 70 gallon. Since I will soon be switching over to the 70 I decided there was no reason to build one for the 55. Thanks guy and gals for the kind words.

I have added a new picture above. I have also added a few more corals to my tank since the last picture.

here is a pic of my favorite fish checking out my favorite coral! I haven't had the sun polyps in my tank but a few weeks so I am still training them to open during feeding time. The picture doesn't really do them justice they are much brighter in person.
