20 Gallon Nano

Here is a retrospect of my tank

Set up in Sept 2010

 

It is always nice to see pics of where tanks have transformed. Awesome job

 

Beautifull! I wish my 20 looked like that!

 

Thanks, I hadn't realized how much it had changed in 1.5 years.

Thanks. 20's are great tanks to own!

 

Added a BTA to the tank. He has settled in nicely but not in the best spot for viewing. My smaller clown is hosting in it but the larger one seems to want nothing to do with it.
The latest frags are growing well. The majority have fully encrusted onto the rock and are putting on some length and girth now.
The Radion fixture is finally set at 100% intensity after a very lengthy ramp-up. The corals suffered no bleaching or loss of colour and seem to be enjoying it. I have also switched to Artificial mode from Natural mode to have a longer stretch of mid-day intensity.
Here is the latest video of the tank. Still trying to figure out how to make everything not seem so blue on my iPhone 4s, but otherwise I think it turned out OK. Enjoy!

Tank is doing well and the there is very good growth with the Radion lights. Also started dosing Prodibio and have noticed much better water clarity. Also noticeable brighter colours on corals.

 

Here is a long awaited update on my tank. This tank is now 2.5 years old. A number of things have changed and the tank is maturing well.
- Replaced the SWC Xtreme 160 cone skimmer with a RLSS R8-i that comes with the DC Waveline 5000 pump. This skimmer has preformed great so far and I have installed a Swabbie neck cleaner to help cut down on the maintenance.
- Upgraded my Ecotech Radion Gen 1 fixture to a Radion Pro. With the addition of the UV, indigo and yellow LEDs, my corals have really started to pop with colour.
- Replaced my single 1.5" return line with two 3/4" Locline returns. This has created a more turbulent flow in the tank, allowing for some different coral locations.
- Added a Neptune Systems module PM2 with conductivity probe and additional temperature probe (not yet set up).

Always fantastic to see a nano still going and well maintained after a year or two.

Beautiful corals and tank.

Thank you.
