    Hi all I finally setup my 20Gal NANO!! last night.
    I used 60lb of sugar agronite sand and 15 lb of LR which i cured. This is a day2 pic I will keep you all posted on my progress. First, I'm thinking to use this tank as quarantine for the rest of my fish that I want to put in my 75gal reef and than start to build up my Nano
    what you think is it a good idea?
    Also I'm thinking of getting a protein skimmer. Is SeaClone 100 enough for my setup? or I would be better of with 150 ? https://www.aquatichouse.com/SeaClone Skimmer.asp

    My light is 2x 20W 10000 regular fluorescent and 1 15W actinic would this light setup be alright for some softies till I get my 2x65 PC what you think?

    I know this is alot of questions but I'm very exited and I want to do it right from the beginning :)

    Thanks for all the feedback and don't worry there will be more questions [smiley=laughingsmiley.gif]

    actually It was a sweet deal from my LFS 4$ per pound but it was partially cured so I had to finish the process on my own

    I bought this LR for my main system but I decided to make a 20 gal nano so I split it I got 30 lb total here is my main system pic the rock on the right is the rest of it.
    O and LR is from Haiti [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
