Cool....Looks nice...I like the rock/sand combo....Can you hide your filter intakes any more?

Looks like a fairly aggresive bunch in their too...auratus and red zebras, some Kenyi....Is that correct?

You bet,pretty aggresive but i think it is slighty overstocked so it is spread around between everyone,no body gets picked on!I do have a yellow lab that i may remove, he seems a little out of place!Bang on with the fish, also 2 socofoli,1 cobolt blue zebra,2 demasoni!

14 fish in a 55 isn't that much, you could probably do about 18 without much problem. What kind of filters are those? Look like Aquaclears........

what kind of light is that by the way? im thinking about setting up a frontosa tank and i want the blue effect. there's marine glo flourescent bulbs.. but those are so darn blue you have to get a regular white bulb to counter the blue....

I use 2 aquaclear 300 filters,i find aquaclears to be the absolute best for keeping your water cyrstal clear,great mechanical filtration.Also with the crushed coral it's a good base for biological filtration.My light is a 48" 30watt 10K normal output fl.A 10K bulb gives of a good purple/white look!The marine glo bulbs are only good as an add on actinic bulb you still need to run a 6500K or a 10,000K bulb to boot!URI make great bulbs but a little more $$
