| Manta Ray | Re: A 55 Gallon is Born!! due to moving no physical progress has been done. but i have beene thinking about a lot of things. first i am going to widen my stand now by six inches and not worry about it later. also for lighting i might go with one of those coral dynamics LED lights and 4 bulb t5 supplement (2 white 2 acentic). my dad really wants me to go with leds so this seems like a good option. also a rubbermaid and a spong filter will be qt tank. maybe one of the extra ph laying around. also i am going to use a 10g tank and a 40w pc for coral qt/ fragging, which i will do alot of since after my 55g going i would like to start an online coral selling/trading place. so i will stock up on the nice corals with the 55. thats all for now

| Sunshine Reefer | Re: A 55 Gallon is Born!! LEDs sound like a great plan. Be careful with angels or butterflys since both are known to pick at corals.
