Mallorie's 55

[mallorieGgator]

Hey guys- Here is my tank: I have a 55 gallon with a 20 display 'fuge. Planning on upgrading in a few years since I am not a fan of the 55 gallon. I have two Koralias (1-1050 and 1- 550). I also run a Reef Octopus skimmer. I have a 4 bulb aquatic-life T-5 with 2 ATI blue +, 1 KZ new gen, and 1 KZ fiji purple. Also run GFO and matrix carbon.
SPS heavy with some LPS and lots of zoanthids. :) These are older pics and I will update tomorrow with some new ones.

Chort- I have no clue. It may be valida? I got all of my SPS for free. I got that one from a local guy along with many others because they had browned out in his tank. They are coloring up nicely for me.

I was thinking validia also- most likely a blue tipped.

Nice tank Mallorie! It kinda reminds me, in a way, of mine. Think its the similar rock work, although yours is a bit more spaced out.

Great looking tank! Cant wait to see some newer shots of it!

[mallorieGgator]

Thanks Patrick! I wantd to keep the sand bed open for lots of big LPS like fungia, wellso's, etc. :)

[mallorieGgator]

Thanks! I got three large colonies of it. I have to blue tipped and one purple tipped- I think the purple is called a "tri-colored" valida.

Update pictures:
Tank- Ignore the green plate in the bottom. He was burri in sand when I got home from vacation and I don't think he's going to make it. :(
