Re: 55 Gallon Reef Tank

I love a lot of the predators, (which is probably going to directly result in me owning a decent number of tanks )

I would love to have a Tessalata eel, stars n stripes puffer, Humu picasso trigger, with either an angler or boxfish as well, in a FOWLR set-up. The tessalata's can get up to almost 6 feet long! Love the patterning on them as well.

Update for the 55 gallon tank:

Re-did the rock scaping
&
Ordered a few more things:

Hydor nano (425 gph) and evolution (1150 gph) powerheads (probably going to remove the 240gph nano's from the set-up or position them to keep detritus off the sand/from under the rocks)
Hydor Koralia Auto Top off system
Sicce syncra silent 1.0 pump (251 gph) Auto top off pump

Day 17 of cycling:

10% water change

Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrites - 5++ppm
Nitrates - 40ppm
dKH - 13 (this seems high to me, although 7-12 seems to be acceptable, at least PH swings shouldn't be a concern)
S.G 1.026 (going to lower this a little with water changes - shooting for about 1.023-1.025)
Current Turnover rate: 35.5x
Temp: 78.5*F

As of now I have a little bit of brown algae starting to show on a few rocks and some areas of sand! Looks like I'm starting to get there
