well the tank i am considering using measures 24"Lx12"Wx16 1/2"T...i think that is a standard 20 actually. So i my main tank will be a 20L and minimal flow is preferred, is 200 gph through the fuge good? Ive heard 5-10x the volume of the main tank per hour.

Thanks for those links erik. i have studied the sump in the first link before, and i think i am leaning toward a design like that but using a 20L. i think the 20H that i have isnt the best choice.

Nice. I like all the different colored shrooms. I the tonga branch gives it a differnt look from everyone elses tank. nice coraline growth too.

This stuff looks pretty cool...this is what one of my LFS uses in their coral display tank (Circle Pets). http://www.thatpetplace.com/Products/KW ... mdy00.aspx

oooops...not the first time ive done that!! And good job sadie, i did mean thatpetplace.com.

This place...and there are many others too...offer black araganite sand. this is the stuff that you want to use in a reef.

may fovorite tank is a 20 gallon long...it is shallow so you get more out of you lighting, and you have alot of visible area and surface area.

there is room on either end to slide the sup in and out of mike, i am paintin it black.

happy birthday dj!! :group :birthday: :carn

first suggestion...easy on the flakes. only add a couple flakes and wait for the fish to eat them before adding any more. it is very easy to overfeed and that can cause skyhigh nitrates and ammonia in such a small environment. be more concerned about overfeeding the fish rather than...

well first of all, dont disturb the sand bed too much...just the top 1/2" or so. Second, do you have any true nassarius snails? I have 3 or 4 of these guys and they are great. thirdly, i think we all have sand beds that are littered with snail/hermit poo's too, i think it just doesnt show up...

So this is my current DIY project...a stand for my new setup. It is oversized so that I can fit a sump/fuge underneath (feel free to voice any comments/suggestions you may have for this sump/fuge in my post in the refugium section). It is also just under 36" tall because a 20L is only 12" tall...

Well, now that i am almost done with the stand for my new setup (20g L with 20H sump/fuge), im starting to consider what to do with the 20 gallon H that i planned on using as a sump/fuge. I was originally considering something like this ---> http://www.melevsreef.com/acrylics/sump ...

great tank...nice brain!

I had an rbta that i just sold a week ago after having it in my 16 for 2 years. needless to say, it got too big for the tank. i had 80 watts pc on it...always thought it wasnt enough lighting, but i kept it well fed on uncooked tiger shrimp and silversides.

I dont think that the amount of space in that palm filter will do much for the algae. Have you tried increasing the water flow in the areas where you are getting the red slime? Thats what i did when i had a problem with the red slime and i havent seen any since.

That lighting should be good for what you are keeping. however, if you ever decided to go with any light-loving corals like clams or sps, then you would want metal halide for sure due to the 20" high depth. pc's just dont penetrate as good as mh. is this tank arylic?

nice tank and welcome to nanotank.com. i curious...what are the dimensions on this tank, it looks taller than a stadard 20g. Looks great and more mature than it really is. where is all your equipement...powerheads, heater, filter,etc etc? i like that they are concealed. what kind of...

steven, do you think a rio 90 or 50? I have both in my 16g, and i have loved them. they are the original powerheads that i bought over 2 years ago...i just clean them out completely ever two to three weeks.

Steven...mike might not like these comments! I have heard the same thing about niko and sean, too.
