I just started a new aquarium. So, there's not much to it yet. I had to downsize from a 125g to a 55g, because I had to take a lower paying job no thanks to the economy. I have a lot to teach. If you want to send me a PM, I'd be more than happy to assist you. Here are some pics of a friends tank:

That is pretty sweet.
Is that VHO fluorescent tubes for the lighting?

The tank belongs to Sonny Harajly www.RimlessReef.com
He runs 7x54W HO T5 lights
I believe his bulb selection in these pics are as follows:
Front of aquarium
ATI Blue+
ATI Aquablue Special
ATI Aquablue Special
ATI Blue+

ATI Aquablue Special
Aquascience Blue 22K"
Back of aquarium

wow. that is awesome. If I am ever a billionaire, I want you to help me make a 200,000 gallon aquarium/ wave pool. although I'm bet those two things don't go well together.

did u have to get rid of fish when u downgraded? that sucks man. looks like a crazy hobby

rlugo29 · 06-16-2009, 01:01 AM

When I down sized, it was due to a job loss. I was forced to sell everything. The new 55g is a new beginning for me. I'm just happy to be doing what I love, and yes, it's a very crazy hobby.

YoungMoney · 06-16-2009, 11:30 AM

is it mostly fish or do u have other kinds of animals?

rlugo29 · 06-16-2009, 09:52 PM

My true love is for the corals, but the fish are fun to watch and interact with. I also have many snails, crabs, mini-brittle starfish, and a couple shrimp. There's all kinds of life in my tank that seem to pop up when no ones looking like brisstle worms, amphipods, hydroids, and a bunch of other weird things. It's truly an amazing ecosystem. I once found a mantis shrimp (very bad) in one of my tanks. These guys are a bit smaller than a pinky finger, but have claws that could shatter a tank or take your pinky fingure off. I posted it online for free and some guy in Cali took him as he studied them. It turned out to be a very rare type of mantis. Only two others have been found.
