My 20g long reef tank

[Crumpy]

Okay so I was inspired by another member to build this rimless 20g long. This is my twist on the build.

 

So I started by building a stand . I made room to fit my 10 gallon sump. I took a 20 gallon long from petco and removed the plastic rim. I had custom glass panels cut to create a euro rim and 3 - 3/4" holes drilled(2 drains and 1 return). I cut baffles for the sump and, silaconed the baffles into a 10g tank. I made a refugium and a bubble trap. I then silaconed the glass panels for the euro brace. I then, hard plumed the tank, and began to wire my system.

For equipment I have:

Kessil a360we gooseneck and remote .

Jebao dc3000 return pump

Jebao wp10 powerhead

Sca-301 protine skimmer.

Cobalt 100w heater

Led Sump light from lfs

Jbj auto top off system w/ aqua lifter pump with a 2.5 gallon tank

2 insagnia fans..

 

Live stock

1 snowflake clown

1 saddle back clownfish

1 watchman goby

1 skunk cleaner shrimp

1 peperment shrimp

Misc coral frags.

 

Then transferred all

 

Here are some pics feel free to ask for more info or pictures.

Looks great. I really like the dimensions of a 20 long. Rimless makes it that much better. I would like to make something like this for a nice frag tank. Looks like the Kessil 360 covers it nicely too.

I agree, the euro-bracing came out nice. However, you might have a problem as those clownfish mature.

I don't think that's a saddle back. Looks like a black occy

Yeah, I think you're right. I responded based on the list (I didn't look very close at the pics).

Thanks guys ! The clowns have been kinda a pain, they will not allow any new fish into the tank and kill some of my frags. I am waiting a few months to introduce a nem for them. I've had them for almost 15 months. This tank was a hell of a project. I honestly didn't know what I was getting my self into.. Lol
