20 Long tank thread

Recommended Posts

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.

Hello every,

 

So long story short I am in the process of bringing this tank back. I'm currently about 75% done. I only need to allow the rock I just added to the tank to seed and remove the last of my old rock. After that a sand bed will go in. Full details can be found starting on page 6.

This looks WAY bigger than a 20"! Cool!

 

A 20 long is 30" long, so it is bigger than 20" :D 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 :D

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 :happy:
