  1. thank you for that post. made me feel a bit better. I plan on keeping the 55 for a good year or 2. get used to this saltwater game and perfect my skills and learn everyday from you experts. I read every day and ready some more. I have learned a lot these past few weeks. will keep you guys updated once I get the tank today and get things rolling!
  2. yea i saw a few images on google that had the top altered so that the lights can lay on the top. looked nice
  3. you guys are killing me lol this is my first saltwater tank, 75 gallon would be too big for my area. I was gna keep the 29 i started but got a good deal on the 55 gallon (until the brace broke lol) I just want it to look decent with some nice fish. nothing too fancy and hardcore (just easy corals, soft and lps), anemones, and the smaller types of fish.
  4. yea two of the evergrows look appealing right now. one on each side of the middle brace. total would be right under 180
  5. also a light that goes on top of tank and not hung from ceiling or wall
  6. its a long 55 gallon, 48 x 12 x 21 soft corals and lps corals
  7. 55 gallon tank getting set up. Want to get a nice LED. Got my eye on a Fluval marine 48". also looking at the snakeeyes, Current Orbit Marine LED, something in the upper 100 range, no more than 200. looking to grow some corals and what not. what do you guys recommend? thanks
  8. thank you everyone for your replies
  9. found one in kingstowne for $40. guess I gotta start the transfer :( such a bummer
  10. I live in Aldie, I dont know much about tanks, the brace was already 90% broken, didnt know the reasoning behind it (now I do!) so when it got to like 80% full it broke off 100%, I then removed 15 gallons and now its half way full. I can hold the two ends and it goes together without much resistance. Its an aqueon 55 gallon 48 x 12 x 21.
  11. Hello, I need help!!! (FIRST POST BTW!!!) As I was filling my 50 gallon with water (live rock and sand already in place) the middle brace broke. It had a crack already before filling it up (didnt know the water can cause it to fully break off). I have been reading online that I can repair it with a metal piece and screw it on or buy a new rim. My question to you guys is has anyone done this before? Should I repair it? Buy a rim? Or get a whole new tank? Thanks guys!!
