    I'm new here. Need help building a 55 gallon reef tank

    If you have enough room to put the 10 behind the tank, why don't you consider trading the 55 up for a reef ready 75? There's enough room in the stand to house the the sump and the extra width makes aquascaping and coral arranging much easier.

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    See, I wasn't alone! I've been waiting for you to join this thread Mike. I know you've added some local stuff to you tank. By all means please stay, Paul! This beats the heck out of discussing LE coral types and the greatest skimmer ever made.

    Adding bacteria from the sea

    Guilty as charged! ;) But thankfully you have the energy to post enough detail to make the points I'm usually too tired or busy entertaining my best friend Jack to make. And that is, this whole reefing thing is a process that constantly changes and there is no one best/right/only way to deal...

    Great wisdom in there Paul, but please tone down the I'm a weird, radical old man stuff. You are stealing my image! ;D Of course I'm just kidding about the image stuff, nice to have another old time reef by the seat of your pants guy around!
