lokipsl Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Moved into new digs and I wanted a new spot for my 20 long. I was having a burger and a beer sitting at my counter trying to think of a good location for my nano reef when bam it hit me. Right on the counter top! got it all level, now it's time to transfer!

lokipsl Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 After a few beers and hours everything is settling in pretty nicely. for flow I have 1 mp10. I change the settings and power throughout the day. The lighting is 2 dual t5 fixtures running ati bulbs. Coral plus blue plus purple plus blue plus. Waiting for my LEDs to come in! Let me know what you guys think now time to relax and enjoy! Link to comment
ZX6Reefer Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Wow, great start! I also have a counter top peninsula and love the fact that it can be viewed from 3 angles. There is so much more room for corals and it's easy to get great flow. When I finally get a house I plan on either a counter top like this or an island bar with plumbing drilled underneath for a cabinet sump. I don't think my landlord would like the idea currently, though. Link to comment

lokipsl Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 My baby bta is looking pretty good. Purchased for $30 when it was only a little bigger than a quarter. It's doubled in size in a month with little to no feedings Link to comment

I like the scape, kinda ironic it took 10 minutes lol I am usually very picky about my rock work, I am still not satisfied with my scape on my 46 gallon.

My new photon 24 came in the mail yesterday and I was able to hang it today.. Pics to follow Here is some pics with the new light. I have the fixture set at 15% for the blue channel and 10% for the full spectrum channel. I have them slowly build intensity in 30 minute intervals Link to comment
