| 55 gallon fowlr
Hey guys, Here is a link to some starter pics. It has just been a week so far. 40lbs or LR is def. not enough. Will be getting more asap. As far as aquaspacing the tank. Right now as you see I have all of the LR in the middle of my tank. Ive seen different things done obv and was wondering your input in this.. Should I keep it this way for easy cleaning or stack it back towards the rear of the tank? And then never cleaning the rear tank? Any input wouold be greatly appreciated.
I need more rock for the left side of my tank and to hide my heater and filter. Ill keep adding more pics when I keep adding... Thanks http://s169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/nereaga/ |

| Looks good so far, are you planning a fowlr tank or coral tank? Any plans on upgrading the lighting? |

| Sounds good, always better to start on fish. The lights are a good start. | |

| Its been 17 days now and I have my first signs of algae growth. Various types from green to brown. Also hair algae on some of my LR. Also found a snail that must have hyjacked a ride from my LFS... He is eating away..... there is plenty for him to eat. Cant wait to get some more in there! Patience... | |

| Was looking at that "plant rock" and maybe its my bad eyes but it looks like you have some bubble algae on it which is not a good thing. Can you post a better closeup of that rock? | |
