This is our first saltwater tank that we started a few months ago. For years we had fresh water tanks. It is a TruVu 55 Aquasystem that we picked up from a local LFS in Redwood City that was closing down so it was already established which really helps new entry into the hobby.
It is work in progress. Thanks to Beau and Jermery S at the swap in Feb, Robert at Neptune and Derek at OT we have gotten some great advice really pointed us in the right direction. With their help we have been able to start populating this tank. Following are some pictures that we have taken. We have been slowing added gear to the tank. T5 Lights, Remora skimmer that works great. We thought that we fairly clean water but this skimmer has been pulling out brown stuff like crazy. Derek helped us with this. One thing is for sure that this hobby is very addictive. We recently added a JBJ 24 Nano that we got from newreefnut. This one we just started and will post pictures as we get it set up. With this tank we now are learning how to deal with brissle worms. We have one that looks like is 5-6” in length.
We are still leaning all the ins and outs. Now the trick is to be very patience let everything grow in. There are so many beautiful corals at local LFS you just want to add them to your tank.
Pictures of our 55g these were taken right after the FEB swab
Nice looking set up , lots of room for frags
A suggestion, if I may. I would move that piece of green star polyp in the middle of the tank to somewhere on the sand away from your main rockwork or very soon your whole rockwork will be covered in it. It looks very nice now but the stuff spreads very quickly and is difficult to remove from rock.
I don't want your tank to look like this

Thank you for the suggestion. GSP was our first coral.

Thanks Tony for the response. Bluevoodoo thank you for your interest. We need to update the pictures on both tank journals as we have acquired a few additional corals and did some rearrangement.

Looking good!
BTW, not all bristleworms are bad, just the stinging kind. I have pinkish ones that I actually bought for more tank diversity.
It was really nice meeting you both at Robert's and Cerissa's the other day.
