My First Reef Tank! Photos.. 46 gal Bow Front

Ok, So I still haven't figured out the right settings to get cool photos but here are a few pictures of my new addiction.









More to come when I get better at photos.

I am completely addicted to this hooby and I already have too many hobbies as it is....darn it!

Good start. I personally would get rid of the fake fw plants. Sort of looks out of place on a reef.
Also, are you aware that your tank is wayyyyy to small for a hippo tang? It can get to be 14" and should be in nothing less than a 6' tank.

I am aware of the Hippo Tang size issue. I know several people who have them in small tanks. When he is getting close to being too big than I will figure it out then. I already have my space picked out for my next, bigger tank.

Nice tank! Your fish and corals look healthy. I see a sneaky blenny blending in to the rocks too.

Nice tank, Capt has it right about the plant though other than that I dig it. Maybe replace the fake with some macro?

The fake plant is a "place holder" until I find a real plant I like to put in it's place.
