CR's 20L Journal **MAJOR CHANGES**

So here's a picture of the new 20L all setup. I've yet to build something to get mount the stunner strips I have. The setup includes close to 25lbs of rock, 15lbs of sand, an AC 50, a Koralia 550, a Koralia 425, and 3 BoostLED 3b2w bulbs.



If you had a 20L what fish would you stock it with? I was thinking clowns but have a pair in my 40B. I'm looking for non carpet surfing varieties as the tank will have a canopy of sorts but still be open in the back. Suggestions would be welcome.

I'll try to get the canopy built this evening and post more pictures.

 

Got the canopy mostly done and was able to mount the stunners. The blue light is great. I still need to stain it to match the stand.

My phone camera hates the LED's.




Still working on a stocking list but I'm leaning towards one of these guys.

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Pink-Streaked Wrasse

 

It's looking really good!

 

Looks good CR! Looks like a relative of my tank! lol

 

Very nice, CR. Love the scape! That wrasse would look really cool in there.

 

Thank you

Yeah I looked at you're thread a lot when I was trying to make up my mind about a 20L vs 29. Very happy I went with the 20L! Looks great in my room. Can't wait to get some corals and fish for it.

Thanks, I love it too. I wasn't sure how to scape it at first so I pilled everything in the tank on one side. I started to move rocks to the other side and next thing you know I have the famous double island without trying. Funny how that works out sometimes. ;D

 

Awesome build coastie. I'm digging the 20L and since I have a completely empty wall at the foot of my bed, now you have me thinking......damn. More money to spend!

 

Lol, I wish my wife would think more like that. She doesn't quite understand my passion, and it doesn't help that we don't have a lot of extra money right. Oh well, I love my fish either way. ;D

 

LOL, and it's the perfect size for your great diy LED strip too.;D

Yeah I thought the spending would stop once I got my tanks setup....then I started buying coral. This isn't hobby it's an addiction!!

 

You are right. There is always something new to buy.I'm just cheap and look for DIY projects. I've been working on my new stand for my 40 gallon breeder for about a week now, even though I know I will end up taking it apart piece piece to paint it the way I want it lol.
