Hey guys The 20, after sitting for about a year with hermits and incremental feeding, is finally getting the work it deserves. It's pretty smelly at the moment, as I added a lot of uncured LR, but it's getting better. Refugium was added! Next will be the filtration, then the lighting, then the chiller. That's for a later date. Here are a few pics-
They are pretty blurry because these were taken just after rock was added, sand was shifted and stuff:
1. Uh, I don't think 40 lbs of LR are meant to fit in a 20 gal tank
2. Removed some LR and put it in the refugium. Ahhh, a lot better!
3. DIY 10 gal refugium. Still have to cut holes in the back of the stand to put tubing through the back. So for right now it's coming out of the front, but the tank needs more time to cycle so I'm not too concerned
So that's it for now. Water is looking much clearer since that pic. Next pic will be the top (being built between posts ), more pumps and a protein skimmer, and hopefully lighting!
