Left Side 55 Gallon Tank - January 1999

The 180 gallon tank was not my first reef tank. This 55g tank was my first attempt. This tank was taken down in April 1999. All contents were moved to my 180 gallon tank.

Like many beginner tanks this was dominated by mushrooms and few other easy to keep corals.  I was just starting to try clams, hard corals and anemones.
