It might be a battle of the 54g corners. I might enter mine and I know of one other entering theres. It could be really cool. We face more problems then traditional tanks do so it will be cool to see what people did with there tanks.

I know its extra work and certainly not required but it would be nice to see us get some pics (the same ones we are posting here) in the reef gallery. Just click on the link at the top of the page to veiw the tanks that are already there.

One of the first things I do when looking at another site is check out the tanks in the galleries and TOTM.

Its great for ideas!

Here is a pm I sent some one that was sure if they should enter their tank.

Dont you? You are not going to win. Probably not me either. Its about growing these tanks out and learning. Chances are your next tank will be the absolutely drop dead tank. Its just a learning process now. Lets enjoy what weve all accomplished to this point.

Lets get them in here so we can all enjoy them!!!!!

Mine will be here soon too!

My tank is a young 5 months old but some corals and fish I have had over 2 years. Pics arent the best from phone dont show true color, tank has become really stable as I have learned some good lessons. I look forward to letting this tank age, I will take the vlamingi tang out eventually, hope these pics work..

1 vlamingi, 1 yellow, 1 scopas tangs!! 1 big clarki, 2 tomato clowns!! 2 six line ,1 cleaner wrasse!! 7 striped, 1 blue damsels!! 1 goby!!

I have all kinds coral, my favs are my leathers and my huge blue brain, I dont have a pic to do it justice..I will just let everything age and see what happens...buy crap when its on sale from now on!!!

To think I dont even have a pic of my clarki in his mag anenome

I fixed it for you Thanks for joining in on the fun! Do you think you might be able to get a good full tank shot. Your phone takes decent pictures but maybe you can get someone to get a better full tank shot. It looks really nice!

Thanks for the fix...

I have a nice Sony Ericsson 2.0mp phone it takes great real world shots but I'm not happy with its performance on tanks lol...A real camera is deff needed for reef pictures especially the full shots...

I plan to have a friend come over and snap some killer shots also going to make some videos during feeding etc...I will surely share...

Hopefully I can add a few before the months over lol... Anyways always adding to this tank, the hidden reef LFS is having a 25% sale next saturday lol.....

Thanks...
