This is my new aquarium. It's a 50 gallon breeder.
36" T5 4-bulb fixture.
But two of 'em.

Now what?

That is some beautiful looking rock, and I really like your aquascaping. I do find that big chunk of rock sticking out of the left formation a little jarring though.

Looking good, I'm looking forward to tracking your progress

Thanks for the kind words
I actually put that there on purpose. From this view it doesn't look good, but it's actually kind of a ledge. It'll make a good spot for a nice coral

it should be 18" tall if its a 50 breeder

Looks good, I just got a 60 gallon tank that I am still in the planning stages with.

Like the open sand areas allows for some flexibility in regards to LPS like scolymia's

eh, i used a book that's 7 inches long to find measurements, so they may be a little off. haha thanks though


thanks!
What's going in yours?
I also like my sand areas. I tried to have a lot of them

haha well goodluck with it! Is it plumbed for a sump at all?

No, i'm too scared to drill!

Ah you'll be fine you just need to use a template to keep it steady and go slow

I love the overhang... I've had something like that in mind for my 29g, and I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking of it!

I think I'll go sumpless for now, but who knows. Maybe I'll add one someday. If I do, I'll have someone from my local club drill it.


thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Well so far, the turbo snail and the hitchhiker zoas are doing great.
I might try adding a few more corals/snails in.

Anyone have any idea on fish?

I like your rocks.

also, moved as per requested.

Thanks, and thanks!!

Lights are on. Waiting for coral to open

New Additions:

around 8 cerith snails
3 turbo's snails
1 nassarius snail

1 Bubble coral
1 duncan frag
a zoanthid frag

WOW.................That looks sweet

Thank you!

I'm kind of thinking about a copperband butterfly.
What do you guys think? Any issues with that?

I would only get a copperband if you have a serious problem with glass anemones. They are extremely hard to keep. If you insist on getting a butterfly, go with a black and white heniochus or an Auriga. Keep in mind that the can an might eat your corals.
I personally would get a large school of cardinals. I love those fish.

Yeah, after posting that, I kind of came to the conclusion that CB's seem to be more trouble than they're worth.
I like cardinals too, but I also want a 'centerpiece fish'

I just can't decide what.
