| I've been with this forum for a while, but never showed off my tank except when I had questions. I've been wanting to convert to reef, but money and time constraints have prevented me from doing so. So here is my tank. It is 50g with a Rena x3 canister filter and a 30 or 40 watt light. That will be the first thing I upgrade when I get my next paycheck. Stocking list:
Achilles Tang
Regal Tang
Valentini Toby
Bluespotted Toby
Coral Banded Shrimp
7 Hermit Crabs 
Thanks for looking at my tank.

Looks much bigger than a 50 gallon tank, what are the dimensions? Are you using a skimmer or just the Rena for filtration?

| Thanks for the compliments. I'm not at home right now, but I can guesstimate, it's about 4' long, 12" wide, and 14" deep. I think that's wrong because my calculator says that's only 35g. There's no skimmer, just the Rena. No money  I don't think my next paycheck will cover the lights, so I'll just have to wait.

I can relate on the no money thing, so many things I want and so little money for them.

I am working on getting a pic of each fish, but the puffers are scared of the camera, the regal tang hides all the time, and the achilles is too fast. As soon as I get some decent pics I will post them. I even got one of the valentini sleeping on an airstone. 
But unfortunately I don't have my camera and can't upload the pic. But I do have this: 
The valentini's teeth have since been trimmed, not to perfection, but they are much better.

| Here is a pic of my valentini puffer sleeping on a suspended air stone: 
This is my prized achilles tang, I've got it in the last week of Aug. 2007, it is fat and healthy: 
This is a rock with a bunch of small feather dusters on it. They have almost transparent crowns, but I know for sure all but one in the pic has the crown extended: 
And this is my poor regal tang. I have had it for a year and a half. Unfortunately, it has HLLE which was caused by my inexperience and therefore lack of varied diet and stable water conditions. It was also originally housed with a humu trigger, which bullied it. It is now fairly happy with the achilles picking on it very rarely, and its color is much improved from before:
