    took me about 8 hours last night to change everything over
    went from a biocube 14 to a 20H
    my dad and i built the stand and i made a diy sump
    more on the stand here
    this time i decided i was gonna go with the island look :p

    fuge light on in sump (yep all of that cheato was jam packed into the back of my biocube)
    [​IMG]

    shot of whole sump (left side is fast lane right side is slow for the fuge)

    MH ballast and the underside of my tank (some creepy looking things on the bottom of the sand)

    still a bit cloudy from the move but here is the FTS (could use a couple more pieces of rock)

    Tank looks great. I love the stand also. Looks like a great build. Looks like you put a lot of thought in to it. Keep up the good work. I agree that you need more rock, but looks good anyway.

    very nice, i'm working on converting my puffers 20h to a semi-reef, but it's going to be a very slow long project. But yours gives me some idea

    Great to see this finally up and running Jake!
    We will be ordering some base rock from Reef Cleaners for the 20L build sometime before Christmas. Let me know if you'd like to tack on some too.
