Lightbulb My 55 gallon is finally stocked

My 55 gallon is finally well stocked and running decently. This tank is a mountain theme like my other tank. The lighting and filtration on this one is also similar. HO-T5 X8 54watt; varied sprectrums. Two 55 gallon cartridge filters, one e-heim, one marineland. Once the tank is older I'll only be running one. Currents are koralia and flobots of varied specs. Lots of hermits, snails, etc on cleaning patrol. Fairly even mix of sps, lps, etc. This tanks centerpiece will with any luck be the sweet rhodactic mushroom I recently picked up. See if you can spot him along with my fav fishies.














Opinions, comments...?
My tank is really really young. Stuff still needs a good 6 mo to grow into thier new home. For now, things are stable and happy.

Everything looks like it is suspended in jello. Maybe a black temporary background on the tank until the Coraline fills in, or something... I like the placements of most of the stuff, just seems unnatural with things floating like that. Like you said, still fresh... and the spacing should leave lots of room for growth... hopefully it will hide all of the aparatus to run it. Maybe the light is too big, and is lighting the equipment up... could lower? Or, maybe... skirt it? I dunno. Gonna be awesome, though. Very nice. You already have more coral that I got in my 55... :-( Soon, I hope.
