Do you have 1 Koralia #3 in your 55g? I'm working on setting my tank up (also 55g) and I was going to buy 2 K #3's. What do you think of the flow in your tank? What else do you have for flow in there? Thanks.

By the way, nice pics.

I have just that 1 K#3,the flow reaches the other side with know problem. Those zoa's have been growing for about 2 years, there are 2 different types. When i bought the rock(football size) there were only 5 zoa polyps, now there hundreds.

That Blue Tang looks big! I think your tank may be too small to continue housing him. I also have a 55, but I would never put a Blue Tang in there! Don't get me wrong, I'm not the tang police, I just wanted to pass that info to you.

I also have a K3 in my 55, and will be adding another to replace my Rio 1700 opposite the K3.

Nice looking tank. Now you need to upgrade to give your tang a little more swimming room.

The tank looks good. Im sure your sps would love the flow if you added another Hydor 3.

Your tang should be fine.. Do you plan on upgrading to a larger tank?

Thanks everyone for the comments. I do plan on getting a 125g soon, but I live in a 4th floor apartment so I will have to wait till
I move in 8 months. I dont realy do anything special to keep it clean, I just water change and clean the glass, I dont even have a skimmer!
