20G high. First nano.

[Martin Riggs]

I always had a interest of small reef tanks but got my foot wet first with a 55G. Once I felt confident that reefing was not a daunting task I've decided to do this 20 high.  Had some spare equipment and got my hands on some free live rock from a tank leak from a local club member.  Launched on 8/19/17.  Only thing I'm missing is a light but as of right now I had no plans for coral. Just waiting for a cheap light to pop up. Stocking is gonna be a pair of flurry clowns, a clown goby and try a crab this time around. I'm lacking test equipment to see where my cycle is but last time I checked my nitrates were in the 50 to 100 ppm range. Thoughts and opinions welcomed.

Really like your scape!  Make sure you epoxy/super glue those rocks together so they don't come down on top of any live stock.

 

What are your ammonia/nitrite levels?  

[Martin Riggs]

just somewhere between 50-100ppm

Loved my 20H....miss it so.....(tank cracked on me) .

 

I use a Prime HD for lighting, with the 18" arm mounted side ways. I did not have the space behind the tank to mount it on the rear wall. I use the light on my new tank. 

 

You tank looks nice, love the scape. Give you some space up top for some higher light corals.

Cycled out and added two flurries.
