Here is my 55g FOWLR! So far I have a Moorish Idol and 2 Clowns and now a Yellow Watchman Goby. There is 40lbs. of LR and 40lbs. of LS also. I am running a ViaAqua skimmer and a wet/dry inside of a 20g sump. Enjoy!

Hey binary- Nice change to your setup. I like how everything fit into the 20gal. Didn't you have a 10gal before? Your sig still says 10gal, but that's a 20 for sure.

How do you have the rocks stacked so nice? They leaning against the back glass? Looks good.

I just stacked the rocks. I didnt even lean them aqainst the glass. Now the fish have space behind the rocks. No glue or anything. Yeah, I had to upgrade to the 20g long since we had water level problems. But its all good now! Also, when I first set-up my tank, it had microbubbles POURING into the main. I was like "this sucks" lol. But now, I turned it on and when I woke up (I turned it on at night), there were no microbubbles in the tank! It is awesome. Thanks for the comments

Sweet.

Yeah, I've got too many "Earthquakes" in Alaska, so I have to be fairly flat on my LR layout. Not that they are strong ones, but at least 2-3 times a year enough to shake the tank water around. So I try to keep the pile from killing anything if it did fall over. Or just buy a LOT more LR.

I'll see if the Mrs will buy off on that excuse "But honey it's for the safety of the fish". LOL
