latteslave Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hey all. I know we (you know who you are) have mentioned putting one of these together before. Figure let\'s give it a shot - Post your tank equipment, livestock and an FTS - and a link to your thread in your sig. I will update this first post as a table of contents. If you have any other thoughts on what would be helpful here for others setting up a 20L, let me know. 20 Long members: violinist latteslave pitahall glennr1978 Esabasard spartanomega21 captainbastard cruzH2Opolo polok121 ticklem EliPhant fishieCJ steve0xr gobbly Byrdman HighCurrent andrewguilfoy pyrocreep sweet<3 Titos Justind823 Vegas Holms Tundrashaul automatik_33 franco10 jaygalindo the_gats jbarr2000 Markushka boosted chemist Carloslekak new-b reefer driftsaru JTumbleweed d9hp JBM entendu andru24 nebthet Wilioli DimePieceReef JulieR LITHreefer james.tsai Wienerdog SaltyFlip Kool-cat Irondragon013 Javisaman Meximazing minywinny Deano Backwerds Man eatyoualive99 devmasa Link to comment

gobbly Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 This looks WAY bigger than a 20"! Cool! A 20 long is 30" long, so it is bigger than 20" 30"x12"x12" I do have to say though, with the right aqua-scape, 20 long's look like a lot more tank than they are Link to comment
automatik_33 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have a 20 long and have been looking for a nice stand. Any suggestions? Not looking to spend too much but has to be able to support the weight and if it could fit a sump (considering i set one up down the road) would be great. Thanks Link to comment
