Post your 55 gallon tanks!

[Isoprene]

It doesn't take a "gazillion dollars" just patience. Get the rock scape (shape) you want. Then decide what you want to grow and where. Almost everything I have started with frags. I like a lot of color so I have tried to incorporate many different types of corals with a variety of colors. Just do the research before you purchase anything and before you place your coral where you want it to eventually grow. Many corals "hog" a lot of space and send out very long tentacles at night. If you are not careful in your placement, they can destroy a beautiful piece overnight. (Ex. - I placed an acan too close to a plating montipora and the next moring over half my monti had been consumed.) Keep a close check on your water parameters and make sure the fish you have are reef-safe and compatabile with each other. Introducing the same sized tangs, even different species, at the same time kept my tangs from attacking each other.

Just be patient and enjoy the process.

Yep this exactly

Was hoping to see more pics of 55's. I need ideas as well on things I can do differently.

This was my first reef, about 5-6 years ago. It was a 55g with no sump (hence all the equipment in the tank).

New 55 in the making. Gets drilled next.

55 gallon that is getting replaced. And yes the tang had lle before I got it. And I only took it as it was about to be flushed.

I wish I could swap my 55 dimensions to. 13 inches high and 21 inches wide.
I'm ordering a rimless tank with the above dimensions.
