Hello All-

I am new to R2R, I have not been in the reef hobby for long, I just started my first reef tank in February 2012. I have a 55g reef tank. I have most definitely thrown myself into this hobby, and am enjoying all there is to learn and discover about it. Attached below are some pictures of Tank Selter.

Pic 1- Day 1 setup, Feb 5th.
Pic 2- New lights, added April 5th.
Pic 3- Taken April 5th.
Pic 4- Taken June 5th.
Pic 5- Current Zoanthid population, Taken July 2nd.

The most interesting thing challenges I have run into as of yet is Dyno's. I have also had 2 peppermint shrimp go through spawning, my red bubble tip has split, so I now have two, and my big green hairy is about 7inches across and in the process of splitting. I am looking forward to what is to come in Tank Selter. I have started the seed, now I will watch it grow.

Inverts:
25+ various hermits
12+ sand sniffer snails
3 large turbo snails

Thanks for sharing and welcome to r2r! I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of your tank it looks good.
 
Much Thanks

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

I appreciate all the kind words about the tank. I will create a Tank system thread in the next day or two so everyone can get a better look at the full system and provide feedback on what I can be doing differently as I am still very new to the hobby. I will also post some coral growth progression shots.

Thanks again, and wish me luck in the July New Members contest from Joe Knows Reefs, the Roid Rage Chalice is stunning, and would add greatly to the tank. As being my end goal with the tank is to have it looking like the world of Avatar under blue LEDs, winning this comp would take me one step closer.
