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!

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

Sweet, it looks like its doing real good for you... was just wondering if it had a common name so I could try to find some around here Keep doing what your doin its obviously working for getting them to color up!

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.
