My 55 gallon tank

[alexingalls09]

Hello everyone. I have been working on this tank for about a year now and finally got some money together to purchase the rest of the live rock i needed to really get my tank rolling. Here are some pictures of my tank with its current setup. I am having a hard time deciding on where to place my rock in the tank to get the most use out of it for coral placement. also i dont think it really looks that "neat" lol. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Also if anyone has any ideas on pieces of coral, fish, etc to add to my tank and ideas on where to place it at. Thanks I appreciate everyone's input!!

AquaticLife T5 HO 4-Lamp Light Fixtures w/ Lunar LEDs is the one im using but i am going to upgrade to ecotech marine radion pros when i get the money.

Take a hammer to it!!! make rock rubble, its alot easier to work with, glue and shape, can make arches, towers, bridges, walls ect! I used to have mine similar to that, (55gal also) but recently Iv added another tower onto the third!

ok thanks, the radions are great but pricey have you looked into a cheaper similar alternative like

48 Tank SolarBlast Kit - Apollo Reef LED

yes i have but i already have the ecotech pumps and the added features of the radions i think will benefit the health of my tank not to mention that they only have to be run at 20% intensity so they should last you a lifetime and allow you to upgrade to a larger tank without having to purchase all new equipment

makes sense.
