Hi Guys-
My name is Keith. This is my first reef tank. I am not new to keeping tanks though. I had a fresh water tank for roughlyy 3 years and upon moving out, helped my roomate with a 120 gallon salt water fish only. During the ice storm that hit last winter, we lost power in Dunstable for about 9 days. We weren't able to find a generator in the midst of everything and lost the tank.
My set up is a 55 gallon reef. The tank was a gift from the roomate. It didn't come with built in overflow so i have a CPR Aquatics hob overflow and sump set up. The stand that i purchased wasn't really deisgned to hold a sump, so i had to make due with a 7 gallon model. I have recently built a fuge in there.
I've got a coralife 120 superskimmer and about 60 lbs of lr in the tank now. I use a Fluval 305 canister filter and have an Acquitic Life 4 X 65 watt PC system.
Besides the clean up crew, Ive only got two black and white clowns in there now. I am not exactly sure what I want to get for livestock next. Eventually I know that I am going to want to get a bright wrasse like a Velvet Fairy Wrasse.
Do you have any reccomendations?
Here are some pictures. I am welcome to suggestions!!
