Bobalouy Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well its probably been over a year since I posted any pics of my tank. I really lost the motivation, I was doing water changes every once in a while and that was about it. It became overrun by cyano, and lost a lot of corals. So I am trying to get motivated again, during a tank move I removed all the sand. And I have been doing weekly 10 gallon water changes. The last of the hair algae seems to be dieing off and things are starting to look good again. I am hoping that starting a thread will help keep me going. I haven't messed around with any aquascaping yet. Livestock: 3 Astrea snails. Surviving Corals Orange Ricordia Red Mushrooms Green Button Polyps Some random Zoos Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Welcome back. What are the dimensions of a 20L? Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Welcome back. What are the dimensions of a 20L? I can answer that one since I just set up a 20L myself. Dims are 30" long, 12" wide, 10" high. I have to say, I really love the footprint on a 20L. Bobalouy, I can totally relate to where you're at right now. I spent most of 2008 fighting lots of discouraging issues with the tank I had which was a 16g custom AIO. Like you, I had LOTS of algae issues as well as other problems, and basically just not enough time or $$ to get it turned around. Also like you, I just moved everything into a 20L to try to get a fresh start. I REALLY like the 20L much better than my old tank. I have a 4x24w T5HO fixture (which I LOVE), a Nano-Remora skimmer on one end of the tank, a K1 near the top on the other end, and a no-name PH similar to a MJ400 or 600 blowing across the bottom in back of the tank. The water flow seems perfect so far, the light is great, and while I've hit a few minor bumps I am really excited and hopeful about making this tank into something special. LMK if I can help you out with any suggestions or pep talks. Btw, I like the look of your LR and those Red Mushrooms. Link to comment

Gerber77 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Those are insane, you should frag them and so trades or sales and youll be able to get some high end stuff. Link to comment
