i would for sure use a skimmer, especially if you plan on fish. I have the bakpak, but i have heard that the remora is much better. Either will work fine for a 20 gallon. If it were a bigger tank, I would suggest the remora because it is more efficient.

No, its just that I bought that stuff and actually installed it in my canopy until i read a couple threadfs about it cracking from the heat and falling into peoples tanks. didnt mean to come across wrong. jesse

The farthest that i can move it away is a total of 3" from the bottom of the MH reflector. What do you mean "regular" glass? Is regular tempered enough? Do you NEED uv glass? I heard this was the case.

Perfect...thanks. I should begin on the design stage of my sump soon. I plan on a hybrid between what ive seen on melevsreef.com (awesomely incredible site!!) and yours drty... thanks again jesse

Yess...it was suggested to me my a glass shop owner to get tempered glass and then get it tinted. I am going to look into that this weekend. tempered alone doesnt block all UV light...laminated does because of the plastic film in between the two pieces of glass (but laminated glass isnt...

anyone?

I agree with sadielynn about waiting to add fish until at least Feb, say 3 months. fish are the largest bioload that you can add.

... I recieved my LEDs from litylshue today...thanks alot man. Ill be mounting those in my canopy soon. pics of that to come.

Definetly go with RO water. It is much safer and easier and you will have less algaes like red slime etc.

drty...couple more questions. you used glass for the baffles, right? Did you cut it yourself? did you just silicone them into place? what kind/thickness glass did you use? thanks. jesse

patience...patience is KEY in this hobby.

Thanks for that link!! i had seen that, but sort of pasted it over since i wasnt interested in a sump/fuge at the time. I am aiming for a similar design...curious as to how you have the water exiting the tank...Overflow? I am cosidering using a 20H because that is what I have laying around...

I like the rfelctor for the MH...Is that the kit from nanocustoms?

id look for the BW at night with a flashlight...then grab him with tweexers or feeding tongs

Awsome set up...look forward to seeing this tank progress. Welcome jesse

I dont know if I am the only one that acclimates this way, but when i first get the fish home, I float the bag and open it to breathe. While it is floating, I attach it to something around the rim of the tank so it doesnt sink and I drip it. I do this by filling a large cup with water from my...

Is there a way to mod a standard Bak pak 2r so i can use it on a sump/fuge? I have plans on a 20L with a 10-15g fuge undertank (either this one http://www.melevsreef.com/acrylics/sumps/f/sump_f.html or this one http://www.melevsreef.com/acrylics/sump ... del_m.html ). The easiest way, though...

I will sell all three, the rock/anemone/clown for $90. I can deliver them if you live close enough. I will consider equipment trades/ trades+cash. PM me reasonable offers.

Ive bought 2 fish from tongs with no losses. How are you acllimating them to your tank? As for getting a goby, I wouldnt. I think your tank is plenty stocked as is. Adding another fish would only worsen your nitrate problem.

Im sure that is a decent heater, however it is glass. I am a little wary of glass heaters in a salt duedo to the fact that the rock and other stuff can fall and break it. I prefer this heater ----> http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/P ... 004+113767 and I know others on this site do, too...
