Just getting started! This was the tank that I started my first reef with and it was just sitting upstairs in the hallway with some hermit crabs, live rock and aiptasia, so I decided I need to get it going again, but wanted to do something different with it.

So far the plan is...
~20H
~Nova extreme light fixture 96w T5HO
~2 Aqua Clear HOB filters (I only have one and a K3 right now, but the K3 will be replaced with the other Aqua Clear as soon as I track down the rest of the pieces)
~Around 15lbs of live rock
~3/4-1 inch sand bed
~Macro Algae
Codium (Tall)
Flame Algae
Halimeda (Monile/Incrassata)
Red Titan Algae
Gracilaria
Red Gracilaria
~snails & blue legs
~cleaner shrimp
~still undecided on seahorse type...either H. Erectus or H. Reidi
~1 pipefish
~a few of my nicer looking zoas from the 54 gallon and maybe some other softies depending on how much room is left.


I would love to hear comments and suggestions!

That's going to look so cool with your seahorses attaching to the macro algae. Good luck and keep us updated. Al

Thanks! I'll get some pics today, but I'm having problems with the algae clouding up the water :(

Good Luck!
