Yes its a 55 gallon aquarium on a wood stand that once housed my goldfish. I am still looking to find a good deal on a 75-150 gallon SW setup.
Here is a video of one of them, very photogenic!

Re: My GSP's are in Full Marine!
My only concern is the water has been cloudy for the past couple days since the last 50% water change which was responsible for bringing it up to full marine conditions. Have I reached a breaking point in the water chemistry which may have caused a mini cycle? I also noticed a few patches of greenish/grey colored strings appearing on some of the decor in the tank. (grey hair algae possibly)

Re: My GSP's are in Full Marine!
Just keep a close eye on your water readings, I am sure it will be over as quick as it came on.

Will do. Will schedule another water change on Friday just in case.

Re: My GSP's are in Full Marine!
Is it ok to keep my plastic plants in full SW that i had in there to begin with? I also noticed my rock is changing color now from the white dry look to a pink, grey, and dark green appearance. The tank looks so beautiful now.

Re: My GSP's are in Full Marine!
Do you have cured live rock in there? This will help a ton on the tank since it is full marine.

Sure, I used lots of fake, including silk plants:

Re: My GSP's are in Full Marine!
Awesome! And yes I had a couple of fist sized pieces but it looks like they have successfully seeded the dry rock I started out with.

Re: My GSP's are in Full Marine!
It dont hurt adding some more cured live rock to the tank. I had alot of live rock in my marine tanks. But still had room to swim.
And PP that is a beautiful tank. Love the tomato clown. Well looks it from the angle.

Re: My GSP's are in Full Marine!
I am actually negotiating with a couple people on Craigslist to get about 20lbs this Friday when I get paid. (it will cost me about $100 at the LFS and I plan to get it for the fraction of that price)
Indeed I totally agree! And I hope to get my GSP's looking like that in a couple years! They are looking so plump and bright colored already I can only imagine what they will look like when they reach adult size!FADE2BLACK_1973 wrote: And PP that is a beautiful tank.
