saints fan 420's 20 gallon build

Nice start.

 

Good stuff. I was thinkin mantis with my 20. but this is my first sw tank so of course i had to get fish and coral. maybe down the road ill get one.

 

yeah i want it to be a mantis tank kinda..the only thing is im not gonna be able to keep a cuc. or anything else in the tank and im just worried about bio load right now without a skimmer..maybe its because ive never had a tank without one..


i just added some more sand, not sure how much im going to put in there..if i wanted a goby and shrimp pair would a 4" sand bed be enough..

i got a 30lb bag of aragamax for 20$ so i got plenty of sand..and whatever i dont use im gonna put in the 30 gallon..

 

looks good. I like the idea of a seahorse tank.

 

yeah thanks so i just got back from wal mart and found this corner bath rack made out acrylic type of plastic that clears that is gonna be perfect for the little fuge..it cost 4$...this is a tad big but they did have smaller ones that i will get..there in the bath tub area by the light bulbs in my wal mart..the smaller ones were like 2$..and they come with the suction cups and holes for flow..they look just like the 25$ cpr intank fuges..

im bout to take a pic

 

Yeah, I really like that idea. I just don't have the space, but man that is a great idea. Wal-mart does have everything.

 

they have ones half that size

 

Cowfish!

Super cute, loves to swim out in the open, won't bother corals... He'll eventually outgrow the tank, but you're not investing a lot in it to begin with.

He will eat crustaceans and snails, but if you're just doing a frag tank with something interesting, then you don't need a whole lot of other critters anyway.
