patbrassil Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hey everyone! My first saltwater tank was started a year ago with mixed success. Since then i've learned a ton and decided to start a 20 high. I want a fresh start and try to do everything right from the start. My vision for the tank is to be heavily stocked with LPS and Zoas, and I may make my first endeavor into some SPS corals. I'd love to hear everyone's input and advice. Equipment: Sea Clear 20 High Sunlight Supply Tek-Light T5 (2x ATI Blue Plus, 2x ATI Coral Plus) Aquamaxx HOB-1 100w Hydor Theo Heater Hydor Koralia Nano 425 JBJ A.T.O What is everyone's thoughts on the aquascape? I will also most likely be adding an AC50 or 70 with an intank media basket. Unsure if i should set it up as a fuge or run CPE and Purigen, thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment
BoCoMo Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Very cool. I had to talk myself out of a 20 High today (that dang $1 a gallon sale is a real challenge to my marriage) But I live the tanks and have a planted shrimp 20H in my dining room. Ready to see what you do with this one! Link to comment
Fish_Bagger Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Have you thought about going with an electronic heater? They are more compact and reliable. http://www.cobaltaquatics.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=33&zenid=bf7jb85giuojorf5a71j2nj0t2 Link to comment
