trickerie Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hello all. I've been a freshwater aquarium enthusiast for many years and after moving states and restarting into the hobby I decided to finally give salt a try. I grew up in Florida and lived near the beach my entire life. Now, being in Maryland it brings a little of my history with me. Some stats: Tank: 20g long Light: 165w Chinese budget fixture Filter: Tidal 35 Rock: 30 lb dry Substrate: 20 lbs aragonite, medium grain Stand: simple diy cabinet with light hanging arm Heater: 100w Aquatop (5/28/19) Circulation: Sicce Nano Voyager 530gp/h (5/28/19) ATO: XP Aqua Sumpless with Skimmer box overflow (5/28/19) Stock: TBD 1 Quote Link to comment

A pair of clowns, some type of goby and then I haven't decided what else and am open to suggestions! My original scape was a nice shape too, but I changed it as it was leaning too much on the back glass and I wanted to be able to see around the whole structure. 1 Quote Link to comment
