Sorry, too much work to keep track of a waiting list... Gonna be a little while to get my broadstock grown out first.

Probably gonna get another T5 setup, but no hurry, need to fill up the lower tank first.
Here's a FCS (Full Closet Shot).


And the existing tank before plumbing the addition.

Looks great! I would consider adding some eggcrate to keep the frags from being knocked down underneath the racks.
Here's how I did mine when I was using my 20g for a frag tank.

Thought about that Glenn, but the purpose of the upper is to get some fish in the system, and it would really close off a portion of the tank if I walled it off.

Might have to live with it, or just be more carefull with my frags...

Thanks! Not like I have much choice, this was the last space in the house before getting booted to the garage.

What kind of fish are you planning?
calvin415
Nov 9 2009, 03:58 PM
Not sure... Open to suggestions. Not too much will fit in a 20L but I'd like to have something to elimate any algae.
fewskillz
Nov 9 2009, 04:28 PM
algae in a 20 long...
Maybe a bicolor blenny or a very small dwarf angel.

I sure as hell hope the bacteria doesn't mess with the Mauls

Glad to see they were opening up alright. Did you get 2 or 3 heads?
calvin415
Nov 15 2009, 12:33 AM
So far the Mauls are okay, I was able to get 2 heads.

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, I just saw this thread bumped, forgot it was out here... I don't have any updates as the tank has become an algae nightmare and I've been focused on getting my maintenance biz going instead. I'll likely liquidate the remaining frags I have but have to figure out what is in there first.
