Temperature. In summer the tank will heat up more rapidly then a large body of water. Temperature spikes can kill your corals and fIsh if not monitored.

Good luck. Looks ok so far.
thanks for the input bud... i can't figure out how to change the title on the thread but i've actually moved from the 20 into a 60 gallon tank with a sump, so my water chem is a little less susceptible to the large swings associated with small tanks.
