    More pictures!!! I'll be setting up my refugium this week with mud, LR, and Chaeto to try and stop the GHA before it gets much worse.

    Ok, I'm ready to put some more life in my tank.... I don't want to put any more fish in there yet, but I was thinking about putting a cleanup crew together. Tank has been going since the first and had the 2 clowns in it since the 6th. I want to put something in there that will take care of the GHA that's growing. Any ideas?

    Wanna chime in on this thread with 2 questions about the sump tank. I was considering making a custom acrylic Bowfront sump, but it may be too much work :(

    I have a 46 BF also, and I'm curious if a 20g long would have enough depth to work as a sump?

    Also, how much head room do you have with the 20 Tall?

    Dimensions for a 20 long are [FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]30 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 12 3/4

    Awesome looking tank btw!! hoping mine can look that nice when I'm done.

    thanks,
    /D

    I have heard of a lot of people using a 20 long as a sump.
