    Flex in Bottom Trim of 55 Gallon Aquarium

    I was cleaning my 55g aquarium and I flipped it over to inspect it further. It seems that some of the bottom trim flexes a little when I try to push against it. Is this structurally concerning? It doesn't seem to leak from what I could tell - it's been holding water for days.

    Give me some good fish ideas please! So far I have: 2 clownfish 1 baby yellow tang 1 royal gramma basslet 1 firefish 1 engineer goby is this overstocked already? I want some big fish but only if they can stay in a 55 all their life, unlike the tang. I plan on rehoming the tang once it gets big.

    Hello, I bought one reefled 50 light for my 55 gallon mixed reef. I was recommended to by two by my local fish store. But I only bought one because of the price. Before I bought the second I wanted to know if they were good for 55 gallon tanks. Thanks for any response or help!

    Coral Stocking Plan

    How do you all go about deciding where to place your corals? I’m not talking about high or low light/flow, but more so where within the area of the tank they would succeed?

    55 gallon stocking

    Hi, I am curious about 55 gallon stocking. I don’t have a 55 gallon, I’m just really interested in what could live with a pair of maroon clowns in a 55 gallon. I know they can be very aggressive so what other stocking would you recommend to go with them in a 55 gallon?
