    ok, So this is my new 20gal tank so far. I added my sand(crushed coral) from my 12gal to this one (it already had live sand but i wanted my own too.) And my live rock to it plus some of the new live rock that i had gotten from the guy that sold me the tank. I also added alot of the old tank water into the new one, just as to not shock my critters. I just added my damsels to the tank and they seem to be doing ok. My Hermits and my shrimp were the first to go in (about 3days ago).

    It's still going to cycle and not sure the shrimp will make it through, but good luck with it and it looks really good! I like the way you did your rock!

    Thank you. You're right, it's still Cycling. Im hoping everything is going to make it. They seem to be doing ok, they're eating normally, and running around the tank like they always do, so im hoping that they're going to be alright.
    I know that the two rocks ontop (The Flintstone Roof as i call it) Looks kinda shaky, but I cant Get them apart. I put them together like that (no epoxy) and they just stuck. They fit together quite nicely. I wanted to make sure my little guys had privacy and lots of hiding places.

    Thanks. I want to eventually get some color in there. I think the light blue/grey color will make other colors stand out better. I'd love to have some corals it there. Would a Zoa be good to start with?

    Looks good, also looks a lot bigger than a 20g. Pics are deceiving! Keep us posted. Luna

    Its a 20 Long. So its a lot longer but its shorter too. And thank you guys, i almost feel proud. This whole setup was only $75. Hes was selling it so cheap because he had let the tank go and it was infested with hair algae. But with a little work its nice and clean again.
