My low tech peninsula 55 gallon adventure

I think I’m ready to graduate from “beginner” SPS. What would be the next level?

My first reef tank is 2 years old. It’s swarming with aiptasia, bubble algae and vermetid snails. But for the first time, everything is happy.

Tank is looking amazing! You should throw in a few bumble bee snails to help control the vermatids!
 
Gorgeous is right!! Everything looks so healthy and beautiful. Awesome system.

But.. I would be scared of that "stand" though, it wasn't made to carry that much weight. Even though it could be fine, just seeing all of that weight not being transferred directly to the ground makes me uncomfortable lol.
 
Hello everyone! Well after not posting for a year I’m happy to say that I’ve finally mastered easy SPS and my 55 gallon mixed reef has gotten too big for the tank! I’ve pushed this toy from the pet store as far as it will go. It’s time to grow up. So, here are a few recent pictures of the 55, my first reef tank. It taught me everything I know.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a new thread.
