here it is in all its 55gal. glory.

here is a rough (not too accurate) coral list:
green brain, kenya tree, tons of zoos, green long tentacle anemone, star polyps, 4 toadstools, hairy mushrooms, finger leather, monti cap, a giant welso, monti digi, snake polyp, colt, red shrooms, purple shrooms, orange plate, red blue-spotted shrooms, green shrooms, trumpet.

and here are the fish:
purple firefish goby,false perc, 3 green chromis, royal gramma, tailspot blenny, golden blenny, hippo tang, yellow headed sleeper goby.
 
Nice balance of colors/shapes. I like the rock built up on both sides. It'll look cool when the xenia grows out on the back wall. I'm trying for some xenia & GSP on mine. Great job!
 
Nice looking tank. I'd add a busy coral reef backdrop to hide some of your algae problems. I did and don't even scrub the back wall now.

I'd also pull the Hippo (ich magnet), even though I love them too. And replace with a Flame Angel. Better size for long term and less health issues.

Other than that, Great job.
 
my tank is ich free, and i tried the flame angel a while back, the lil bugger picked at every coral i had.
that algae on the back glass is a mixture of green and pink coraline it has that "wavy" look because i attempted to scrape it off with a plastic scraper. I scraped the majority of the green off last night because my old lady liked the pink better.
 
Tank looks great...I like the green algae growing on the back

Is that xenia growing on the back? Are you going to let it grow? That would be awsome to have the entire back covered in xenia :eek:
 
Fishy, that puffer is scary!
 
yeh those xenia started on the rocks below them but moved up fairly fast once they got comfortable. id love them to cover the entire back glass. few more additions coming tuesday, frogspawn and a fiji leather. that should just about wrap up everything i want in this tank. MUCH better pics to come, i have my camera back.
