    Hey guys,

    New to the site, but have been reading your discussions for several months. First time to post. Took some shots of my tank tonight and thought I'd post one. I'll add more later if anyone's interested.

    It has:

    20 Gallon long tank DIY refugium.
    Coralife 125 skimmer.
    Coralife 35 Watt UV sterilizer.
    Several powerheads.
    290 Watt T5 Fluorescent lighting with extra fans added.

    Tank has been running almost a year now with good results.

    Nice aquascaping. I like the fingery looking rock at the right of the hill.

    Thanks on the aquascape, my first ever try.
    I had a fish only marine tank for about 8 years but no live rock to arrange.
    Some of the dead coral pieces I picked up in the virgin islands recently.

    None of the fish fight. The Damsels I used to start the tank will occasionally chase other fish from their territory (the fingery coral) but that's about it. There are actually 2 anemones in there (condylactis), but they constantly move about and are currently behind the live rock. They won't host with the clowns.

    Live rock seems to be taking off after about a year. I notice red and green coraline algae growing pretty quickly. Excited to see how that progresses.

    Here's a pic of the cabinet as well. Built that a while back.

    Nice aquascaping:)

    I wish I had less LR in my 90g so I could get my scaping how I like it.

    Oh well, I will be upgrading to a 190g soon... then I will have the right amount of rock.
