Default troni's 20g

So i finally finished putting together my system, have pvc overlfow, homade sump of about 17g with total water volume of about 34g, being skimmed by aquatic life 115 skimmer, koralia nano 425gph + 300 gph return( not sure how much head loss of about 4 feet high and about 5 90s, 25lbs rock, 20lbs sand and here it is.

my terribly ugly 2x4 stand.


finally got my leds up.



looks empty but i have 2 clowns and 2 hector gobies



the DIY leds



and the hanger done by the famous grizz!



the overflow no longer gurgles
this is inside the tank



this is the overflow outside the tank



homemade sump and temporary lighting for fuge






It feels good to finally finish now unfournately i got laid off for the 2nd time this month and im probaly going to sell it.

that piece was added so he could add a piece across the top so a fan could fit in there and attach to the bar that heads behind the tank

Don't jump to fast to sell your setup bud, it can't be that expencive to run. Switch to IO Reef Crystal for salt, it's cheaper & a bucket should last you a good amount of time.
