Hope you don't mind Steelhealr but I wanted to post my tank somewhere so figured i'd set out the same as you've done in the Nano section (with a few little changes):

RULES

1.Members' submissions must be from their own tanks.

2. Submissions should contain photos of their tanks and completion of a 'tank specs' form that can be copied and pasted from the sample below.

3. Refrain from posting any comments or questions on this thread. These will be deleted. If you have any questions about a particular member's tank, PM them directly with your inquiries. Do not post your submission here if you will not have the courtesy to respond to questions. By posting here, you accept the responsibility of helping your fellow TFF members. Take pride in your tank. Help others to enjoy the same success that you've had by responding. You maintain the ability to edit the thread as needed.

4. Criteria for posting:
  • Tanks must be over 30 gallons.
  • You may submit more than one tank on separate posts
  • The tank must be owned and maintained by the person posting the submission.
  • If your tank does not include an item, you may place N/A next to the spec (eg, if you don't have a refugium)
  • If your setup included a graphic 'sketchup' done by yourself, you may include it
  • Please disable emoticons to keep the thread looking clean. You may keep your signature.
5. There will be a ZERO TOLERANCE attitude for dishonesty. This undermines all the hard work of the other posting members here. If a submission does not look genuine, or, written material appears to have been plagiarized, that member may be questioned by either Steelhealr or Navarre. If doubt exists, the post maybe deleted. If a post is confirmed as false by either or both mods, the member will be warned and may face disciplinary action.

Tank: Glass 48" x 12" x 22"
Volume: 55g
Lighting: - Coralife unit on mounting legs. 260 watts - (2)10,000k and (2)actinic bulbs on for approx. 12 hours a day.
Refugium/Sump Lighting: - N/A
Filtration: - approx. 50lbs LR from Tampa Bay Saltwater, 10lbs LR from Marshall Islands, 10lbs reef rubble, HOB filter with carbon, 3 penguin powerheads.
Substrate: - LS, white, depth varies from fish and invert activities but approx 1" in most areas.
Refugium/Sump: - In tank mini refugium with mangroves.
Skimmers: - N/A
Water Parameters:
Average temp: 80º
pH: 8.2
average nitrate level: <20ppm
Calcium: 400
kH: N/A
specific gravity: 1.025
Corals: button polyps, flower anemone, green star polyps.
Fish: 2 ocellaris clowns, 3 pj cardinals, 1 yellow tailed blue damsel.
Invertebrates: 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 reef lobster, 5 mexican turbo snails, numerous nassarius snails, 2 large caribbean featherdusters, 4 blue legged hermit crabs, 1 sally lightfoot crab.
Feeding: once a day and I skip feeding one day a week. Foods include raw shrimp, and raw clams from the grocery store. Frozen foods: mysis, enriched brine, Formula One, Marine Surpreme. Flake is Formula One.
Maintenance: I try to do water changes weekly, clean filter media at the same time. Amount changed is approx. 20%. I use Instant Ocean salt which I mix up in a 40g garbage can (used for this purpose only), this has a powerhead and heater in it. I use tap water.
Comments: This tank was destroyed by two hurricanes in 2004. It had been a thriving reef tank but all corals died as did all the inverts with the exception of one shrimp, only two fish survived this as well. For a time this tank was kept as a FOWLR but about a year ago I decided to go back to reef. It has been a haphazard and halfhearted attempt which is why there are so few corals in the tank. BTW, the tank is pink, pink, pink because of all the coralline algae.
(Sorry for the crappy picture!)

Comments: This tank has no LR in it, instead fake decor is used. This look might not be to everyones taste but I tend to like the 'unusual'. Please ignore the lighting fixture on the tank. That was only a temporary measure until the hood was made and I really need to take a newer photo. Thanks!
Sorry for the crappy picture!

Comments:

Most of the corals are pretty small frags but are so lovely, the pics don't do them justice. Also the pic was taken first thing after turning the lights on so not all were open! Some of the corals including the mushroom polyps are currently in my 20 gal tank waiting to be moved into this tank but I have included them on this list as they will be in here within the next forntight.

Before anyone tells me off for having the Tang in there...We are setting up a 125g tank at the moment which we'll put her in eventually when she grows some more.
