54 Gallon Corner Reef Tank 1 year old

Look it on HD!!! This is my 54 gallon corner tank... Love the space saver of it and how nice it looks on the corner wall... I have about 100pounds of live rock and a shallow live sand... For fishes I have a Blue Hippo Tag, Yellow Tang, Kole Tang, Mandarine, Alge Blenny,nemo and a cleaner wrass... For inverts I have a cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, some snails, and crabs... For corals I have frogspawn, zoanthis, mushrooms, montipora, some sps, torch corals, etc... I use for light the Marineland light fixture, it has 4- t5 24watts and 1- metal halide 150watts (it is a great fixture!!!)... For filtration I have a 10g sump (no bioballs) with a reef octopus protein skimmer XP1000sss... Hope like the video!!!

I am a newb to saltwater aquariums, I have owned one Chiclid tank. I like live reefs, but have never owned anything but goldfish and chiclids. My plan is a 50-65 gallon live reef tank. If any one has any tips for me. My current plan Is Yellow Tang, Hippo Tang, 4 Ocelaris clownfish, 3 Bicolor Chromis and a Peppermint Shrimp. I have visited many websites like LiveAquaria and Blue Zoo Aquatics. I have chosen easy coral and have spent hours researching what even PH is(my dad did that stuff now it's just me that is gonna work on it) Can I have any tips or anything I should buy to make it easier for me. What gallon size should I get for my current plans, ect.

How long did the yellow tank and the blue tang stay/live in that tank? or are they still there?

Hey. First off love your tank! I have the same 54 gallon corner tank that i am starting up as a saltwater reef tank. Just wondering how the 10 gallon sump was working out for you as i know that there is limited room in the cabinet for any bigger sump. Do you use any other filtration like a uv sterilizer or a carbon reactor? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Great vid!

Beautiful tank! I hate how everyone hates on tangs being in too small of tanks... look at what they are in at the pet store, and they seem happy to me in ur tank so quit hating everyone... neways u harvest ur own pods for the mandarin or r u one of the lucky ones that can get them to eat frozen food?

Is the bottom of your aquarium supported entirely by the stand or just just all around the edge? Mine is not supported in the middle and I'm afraid it's going to collapse if I put to much rocks.

Cheers for the post! I just got this tank and I'm diving into all the details right now. About to pull the trigger on lighting/sump/skimmer. Would you do anything different if you were to start over? I'm looking at maybe the 15 or 18gl TALL tank to set up a refugium. as we both know only the 20x10 foot print will work below the tank. I'm thinking space in going to be an issue in the refugium if I don't keep my skimmer small or maybe external unit with a "line in" ... thoughts?? thanks!

@beeguiles Thanks for the post... About the tangs, I knew about it, but I did try anyway. I had them for about a year and half and after that they grew a lot. Sadly I sold the blue and yellow tang. I'm keeping the purple tang because still small in my tank, but as soon it overgrow I will sell him. Thats the bad thing about small tanks...

Your tank looks great but it is kinda small for any tangs. They need a lot of swimming space and the blue hippo can get very large. Just a little heads up. Other than that your tank looks great

@TheRoygomez Thanks for the post :)) About the canopy, I thought about it, but in my case I want to have my family room neutral (nothing ordinary). Remember is a corner tank and having a light fixture and canopy at the same time wont work unless the canopy is big. BTW, the lights doesnt bother when u r on the couch ;)

@Anthony83511 I had two big colonies at that time. Each of them were growing in a small LR. I had them for a year and few month and I decide to sell one of them. What I like of them is that give movement to the tank eventhough doesnt have bright colors.

@my89tube To keep the water clean I use a carbon reactor... (in my opinion, the best media is the Rox 0.8 from BRS)

About the fixture, I have it 8" hight of the tank and the dont have any problem with the temp... But, I have my tank in my family room and a leave the cealing fan on all the time (I think that helps too)... About the powerheads, I have a Koralia 750gph in the back right side of the tank and a Koralia 425gph in the front left side of the tank... Hope this help you...

My yellow tang is like 6month old... Its true about having the tang in such a small tank, but because I bought it really small I will keep it until gets a little bit bigger (maybe like 1 more year)...

how long have you had the yellow tang? i'm thinking about getting one for my 54 corner but everyone i talked to said it's still to small for that type of tang. Are you going to keep it in your tank when it's full grown?
