Made the transition to saltwater a little while ago. I started with a 30 gallon softie reef as well as a few clams. The project I have been working on for a bit is a high-tech 90 gallon reef aquarium. The tank will have a metal halide / T5 combo hoood, 40 gallon sump, auto top off system and more technical goodies. Slow process so far, so I took a few photos of the 30 gallon.

nice pics dave, good luck on the new set up!

Wow I love the colors Dave! Make sure you keep us posted on how that 90 gallons is coming along!

That fish is my favortie saltwater fish!

Beautiful looking tank and please keep us updated on the 90 gal.

Ooooh i do miss my SW friends. Nice Butterfly David.

Pretty fish! Do you have any full tank pictures of the 30?

Here are a few photos of the 30 gallon reef, I wasn't using my SLR so the photos aren't that great. just reconfigured the tank and took out a fair amount of corals so the tank looks quiet empty.

Dersa Clam and Maxima Clam


Colt Coral


Aussie Acan and Hairy Mushroom

Progress photos on the 90. Getting holes drilled in the tank sometime this week. I am also expecting my baffles for the sump soon.

I really like all of the other "life" that can be kept in saltwater tanks, along with the fish.

That colt coral is cool looking. Thanks for posting the pics.
