My First Saltwater Tank

[TDerow30]

Well here is my 50 gallon setup. I got it used at the end of August and I have been adding to it every since. Its been a long and painful and dreadful learning experience but i finally think i have everything under control :dance2: This set up is just gonna be my warm up tank and I plan on setting up a new one sometime in the Spring maybe jump up to a 90 gallon or so. But here it is nothing to special like most of yours Also some pictures of my favorite goodies in it. I forgot to take pictures of Halloween crabs but my god they are cool looking.

My Tank:

Your tank looks good:thumbup: You have some really nice pieces, where did you get that acan frag with the green ring from?

[Cliff]

Looking good

[Myka]

Your tank sure is clean for a newbie! Looks great. The Copperband is not a beginner friendly fish though...best of luck with it. That neon Favia from Fragalot looks awesome! I can't wait for mine to grow!

Nice looking tank Tyler. Everything looks like its doing really well especially that GSP! What kind of lighting are you using? is it MH?

[Stones]

Looking good Tyler!

[TDerow30]

Thanks everyone so much i have been putting in some serious time into the tank to make it look decent :) I got that Purple/Green Aussie acan from fragalot and it has sure been looking good lately its one of my favorites :) That GSP is like on steroids its just been getting better and better as time goes on i am gonna get it to start growing on my glass soon i hope :) No MH for me just rocking ATI t5's :P Yeah the copperband i was debating getting but they are such a nice fish so i figured i am due for some luck and all. But he eats mysis and brine like a champ now and even abit of flake and he has been cruising around looking like he is enjoying life !!
