My 20g reef

hey guys im new to this forum. Im am starting a 20g reef with a 10g refugium. My tank just finished cycling and i am currently in the algae fase. I have about 40lbs LR in the main tank and about 5 in the fuge. My cleanup crew consits of 12 hermits and 6 snails(at the moment)
Anyway heres some pics. Any critizism is welcome!

 

Karma for you! What stocking options are you looking at?

 

Olyoxenfree
Im thinking about getting SPS and maybe some LPS(eventually)I am only running PCs for right know i want a MH though soon. For now mostly softies like some mushrooms, zoos and rics.

 

Nice! Is that seaclone skimmer you have? How does it work for you?

 

Yep its a Seaclone. Its deffinitly not the best but i got it brand new for $35 off a freind of mine. It takes alot of adjusting but when you do its not that bad

 

Looks like a great start Igotworms.

Hey Raven looks like were from the same area [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] Are u in any clubs? Just wondering.

 

Alright iv got 12 hermits and 6 snails. My algae cycle is here and some one told me i should get more snails and hermits. How many more should i get?

 

I'd add about 10-15 more snails maybe more depending on your algae load.  I'm not a real big fan of hermits except the little scarlet red hermits.  Sometimes your snails start disappearing with the bigger hermits.  And make sure you have empty shells available for your hermits as they grow.  I like an assortment of snails nasserith for stirring the bottom, cerith, nerite, trochus and astrea snails. Bumblebee's are nice too.  These snails stay relatively small and would do fine in a 20g.
