Default updated photos of my 20 gallon nano.

Hi,

Just wanted to share some pictures of my tank that Hidden Reef designed for me. They did a wonderful job on the schematic design and made it very functional.

The details of the tank setup is:

-20 gallon Hagen tank with overflow box and durso skimmer.
-20 gallon sump/refuge with tons of caleurpa
-150 watt HQI Coralife AquaPro light. (Awsome lighting system btw)
-Dual return with LocLine(R)
-Mag 9 pump for return.
-2 power head 402 for added turbelance
-CPR Bak Pak for skimmer

Inhabitants:

-1 Royal Gramma
-2 False clowns
-1 madarin
-1 carpet anemone
-1 RBTA
-4 crocea clams
-1 squamosa clam

Maintenace:

I've had the tank for only 2 months and coralline is beginning to form on the glass. There's tons of life already in the sand bed and in the sump. My lettuce nudibranch also had offsprings and now there's about 6 of 'em.
I dose Kalk every day for 24 hours and it takes about 2 days to use up 2.5 gallons of Kalk.

I also perform monthly water changes. 5 gallon pail.

Can't wait till the SPS grows in and the tank begin to fill up.

Thanks for letting me share.

Cheers,

fishy

Nice setup.

Not to rain on your parade, but a mandarin in with a fish-eating sticky carpet anemone? Lots of postings on CanReef about "mysterious" fish losses due to carpets.

Nice tank. I'll take a couple of those lettuce nudi's off your hands if you're ever coming over to the island.
