I'm about to set up a standard size 55 gal marine/reef with fish aquarium and was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping out a fellow Californian get up and running.

Sure, it would be best if you just make a thread and list the details of the tank and equipment you currently have, and what type of reef tank you are trying to make. Softies are cheap and easy, LPS get a little harder, and SPS is the hardest and most expensive type of reef to setup.

I'll do that this week-end when I have a complete inventory. Right now I'm not sure what I want to set up. Thanks
 
Couple more corals I picked up today.. Got rid of my frogspawn, hammer, and star polyps. Will get rid of the yellow leather in a few days.

Crayola Acro .. really nice looking.

Bigger Pachyseris colony, also nice, and already got a frag placed somewhere else in the tank thanks to my lawnmower pushing it over and breaking a piece. Some reason this coral does something for me even though I know it probably wouldn't appeal to most people.

and a Cleaner Shrimp, my 5 year old cleaner shrimp didn't make the transition into the new tank when I set it up in June. I was waiting for the tank to get a little more stable before adding another, plus my cleaner wrasse has been doing an awesome job already.

OMG that red planet is awesome! i think i drooled a little on the key board lol
great job on this tank! :D 2 thumbs up
 
I like this setup...I think I'm going to steal it. :D Well the design anyway. When I upgrade to the 120, I'm going to drill the tank...I think what I'm going to do is drill one hole for the sump return to go into the under-rock manifold, and then use a Dart for a closed loop with 2 or 4 returns along the back of the tank. I also hate powerheads.
